Generic/commodity and Other

  • BLIS/COBOL
  • Bluebottle also known as AOS (a concurrent and active object update to the Oberon operating system)
  • BS1000 by Siemens AG
  • BS2000 by Siemens AG, now BS2000/OSD from Fujitsu-Siemens Computers (formerly Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme)
  • BS3000 by Siemens AG (functionally similar to OS-IV and MSP from Fujitsu)
  • FLEX9 (by TSC for Motorola 6809 based machines; successor to FLEX, which was for Motorola 6800 CPUs)
  • GEM (windowing GUI for CP/M, DOS, and Atari TOS)
  • GEOS (popular windowing GUI for PC, Commodore, Apple computers)
  • JavaOS
  • JNode JNode.org's OS written 99% in Java (native compiled), provides own JVM and JIT compiler. Based on GNU Classpath
  • JX Java operating system that focuses on a flexible and robust operating system architecture developed as an open source system by the University of Erlangen.
  • KERNAL (default OS on Commodore 64)
  • MERLIN for the Corvus Concept
  • MorphOS (Amiga compatible)
  • MSP by Fujitsu (successor to OS-IV), now MSP/EX, also known as Extended System Architecture (EXA), for 31-bit mode
  • NetWare (networking OS by Novell)
  • Oberon (operating system) (developed at ETH-Zürich by Niklaus Wirth et al.) for the Ceres and Chameleon workstation projects.
  • OSD/XC by Fujitsu-Siemens (BS2000 ported to an emulation on a Sun SPARC platform)
  • OS-IV by Fujitsu (based on early versions of IBM's MVS)
  • Pick (often licensed and renamed)
  • PRIMOS by Prime Computer (sometimes spelled PR1MOS and PR1ME)
  • Sinclair QDOS (multitasking for the Sinclair QL computer)
  • SSB-DOS (by TSC for Smoke Signal Broadcasting; a variant of FLEX in most respects)
  • SymbOS (GUI based multitasking operating system for Z80 computers)
  • Symobi (GUI based modern micro-kernel OS for x86, ARM and PowerPC processors, developed by Miray Software; used and developed further at Technical University of Munich)
  • TripOS, 1978
  • TurboDOS (Software 2000, Inc.)
  • UCSD p-System (portable complete programming environment/operating system/virtual machine developed by a long running student project at UCSD; directed by Prof Kenneth Bowles; written in Pascal)
  • VOS by Stratus Technologies with strong influence from Multics
  • VOS by Hitachi for its IBM-compatible mainframes, based on IBM's MVS
  • VM2000 by Siemens AG
  • Visi On (first GUI for early PC machines; not commercially successful)
  • VPS/VM (IBM based, main operating system at Boston University for over 10 years.)

Famous quotes containing the words generic and/or commodity:

    ““Mother” has always been a generic term synonymous with love, devotion, and sacrifice. There’s always been something mystical and reverent about them. They’re the Walter Cronkites of the human race . . . infallible, virtuous, without flaws and conceived without original sin, with no room for ambivalence.”
    —Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    “If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
