"Tandy 1000(A) and was extremely proprietary, much like Macs are now."
Well for the sake of Accurate disclosure Modern Day ( intel) Macs Are actually Just expensive PC hardware that have their configurations tightly controlled by Apple.
you can install a Retail Copy of MS windows on second hard drive or partition on a "Mac" with no Emulation needed
and use it as a PC and run natively AutoDesk programs et all.
this certainly was not the Case with those Awfull Tandy Systems from Radio Shack.
it is the Mac OS that is under tight EULA and proprietary but then so is Windows as both MS& Apple have the right to protect their IP.
