Limitations
- Genera only runs on Symbolics Lisp Machines or the Open Genera emulator.
- Genera supports only one user logged in at any time.
- There is only one Lisp system running at any time. Data and code is shared by applications and the operating system. (Though one can run multiple instances of Open Genera on one DEC Alpha).
- There is mostly no protection against changing the operating system. The whole system is fully accessible and changeable.
- Development effectively stopped in the middle 1990s.
