    so then do we then also count release versions (Ubuntu 12.04LTS vs Ubuntu 16.04 vs ...) like we would for Windows (95 vs 98 vs XP vs 7 vs ...)?

    What about DOSes from before the GUI became common?

    TRS-DOS don't remember what version(s)
    Apple DOS 3.2, 3.3, ProDOS 8, ProDOS 16, GS/OS multiple versions, Beagle Bros ProntoDOS
    CP/M don't remember version(s)
    MS-DOS 3.3, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x
    DR-DOS 5.x, 6.x, 7.x
    PC-DOS 3.3, grud-knows-which other versions
    FreeDOS 0.x, 1.x

    And that's before considering the BSDs, the many Linux distros and releases of each, Mac OS versions and the various flavors of Windows, Android versions, iOS versions, etc.

      C-64. Poser! Real computer users were on the CBM or PET! (Actually it was 4016s and 4032s I used at school when I couldn't get time on the TRS-80 Model IIIs. Until my folks gave me an incredible present of a Model III of my own.)
