You know, the difference between this company and the Titanic is that the
Titanic had paying customers.

"It goes on forever, and oh my God, it's full of operating systems!"
VMS
OS/2
CP/M
Vic-20 & C=64 (I'll put them on the same line for argument's sake)
AmigaDOS
Unix in several of its myriad variants (SCO, VXWorks, SunOS, Solaris, DOMAIN, HP/UX, Mac/BSD*, blah, blah, blah)
Unix-esque router/appliance OSen (e.g., IOS)
Linux in all its myriad variants (Red Hat, Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian, etc., etc.)
Netware (2.x and 3.x -- and if you think those are close to the same, well...no)
DOS (and variants, such as FreeDOS and Dr. DOS)
Winders (DOS-based)
Winders (non-DOS based)
Apple II
Mac (pre-Unix)
BeOS
MVS
AtariDOS
Whatever the heck ran on the 6502-driven Commodore 1541 and 1571 floppy disk drives
Various forms of embedded Hell (mostly on miscellaneous telecom switches and PBXes)
PICK OS
Emacs (This line's a joke. I think.)
Whatever else it is I'm forgetting from, like, 1987. For example, does the fact that I ran BASIC on an Atari 2600 count? Probably not. Likewise, the fact that I've gotten console from various devices that the creators of which really rather wish I hadn't.
