This may seem obvious but operating systems tend not to be replaced by other operating systems, but rather subsumed by the very applications built on top of them.

For example, DOS was not replaced by another OS but was subsumed by a DOS application, Windows 3.1, which eventually grew down and became a standalone OS in Windows 95.
