Mindset

In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notations held by one or more people or groups of people that is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools . This phenomenon is also sometimes described as mental inertia, " groupthink", or a " paradigm", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.

A mindset can also be seen as incident of a person's Weltanschauung or philosophy of life. For example, there has been quite some interest in the typical mindset of an entrepreneur.

Mindset (computer)

The Mindset, released in spring 1984, was a personal computer designed specifically to run Microsoft DOS. It had excellent graphics support, comparable to contemporary graphics workstations. The basic unit was priced at .

Like the Macintosh, it lacked a conventional fixed-cell (DOS-like) text mode, and the display was entirely graphical. Continued delays in the release of Windows 1.0 meant the machine reached the market before the operating system it was supposed to run. To fill the gap, a software based text mode driver was added to the system, implemented with technical help from Microsoft. But the performance in text programs was never equal to the PCs that implemented this in hardware, and it was only partially compatible with DOS programs. This meant the Mindset was slower at running existing software, if it ran it at all.

In spite of many glowing reviews, the system never sold well and disappeared from the market after about a year. This was lamented by industry commenters, who looked at this event as the first clear evidence of the end of innovation in favor of compatibility.
