Is there a good reason for Norton Commander to be the notable product? I would have thought that Norton Utilities would have been. It has been around longer, and I believe it had sold more copies while Peter Norton Computing still existed as an independent company. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.163.246.58 (talk • contribs).
- I personally strongly think that Norton Commander is a notable product too! It was a fairly decent, and maybe the only one, file manager back in the MS-DOS command line days, and it spun off many clones back then (Volkov Commander) and its legacy lived into a version for Windows, but then Windows Commander (now Total Commander) was on the rise (and it is pretty much popular nowadays), so I guess NC was abandoned. And of course Midnight Commander, the Linux NC-lookalike, has been inspired by NC, too! --Vlad|-> 17:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
