Hello, all. According to Wikipedia, GEOS was bundled with the 64C as
Erich B. had stated in his OP. I never purchased that model, having
acquired 3 breadbox models over the years. So what I stated I think was
correct but only for non-64C commodores. Sincerely,

Commodore could have, instead of just bundling GEOS with the C64c,
including its kernel into ROM (and selling a cartridge with the same
for legacy owners). GEOS got pretty wide adoption as it were for a
non-game, but this would have encouraged even more widespread use. By
1987 or 1988 a productivity application running on GEOS would have
been the norm, and we might have seen GEOS-based games too.
