An absurd notion at best, Peter. I would defy you to defend it! As to what Microsoft might have done vis-a-vis the...
but:
1 Solaris Operating System. Since it's an AMD it's probably Solaris-x86 or possibly Solaris-AMD, if there is such a beast.
2 32-bit-64-bit RHL. This is not an OS but a distribution. (A useful, powerful distribution, of course.)
3 64-bit SUSE Linux. SuSE is now owned by Novell; isn't this called Novell-SuSE or something? I'd have to look.
4 Microsoft Windows. That's *extremely* broad; are we referring to Windows 3.1, Microsoft Windows Vista, or what?
5 VMWare. That's an *application*. (And it's not clear which application, either; vmware.com has a fair number of products.)
