    I guess it depends on how you count an OS. I'm don't think that Linux distros really count as separate operating systems, even if there is increasing divergence over the years. It would be ridiculious to fluff up the count that way.

    • MTS (mainframe)
    • Apple DOS
    • CP/M
    • PC-DOS, MS-DOS
    • DR-DOS
    • MacOS
    • SunOS
    • Windows NT
    • Solaris
    • OS X
    • GNU/Linux
    • OpenBSD

    So I guess that's about 11, not counting ones that I've dabbled with like QNX, HaikuOS, and FreeBSD. Somehow I missed OS/2 completely. I had looked forward to it but after a short wait saw what M$ did to IBM because of it and knew to not expect anything.
