I forgot one: Tandem NonStop OS on Alpha, which was under development at Compaq at the time that Compaq decided to sell off the Alpha technology to Intel. The Tandem stuff was retargeted to Itanium. We GEM folks lost track of Tandem at that time, so I don't know what back end HP is using for the NonStop on Itanium product. -Paul W.
