Caldera OpenDOS, Linux, BeOS, Novell NetWare, Sun Solaris, Sun
JavaOS, HP/UX, DEC VMS and Digital UNIX, Lucent Inferno, SCO
OpenServer and UNIXWare, and IBM AIX and OS/400 — plus a range of

“information appliances.” Those that have failed in the market
have done so because consumers rejected them.”
