Perhaps even more picky, in the case of Mac OS 9, must be refered to by "Mac OS 9'
rather than simply 'OS 9"... which is an OS product of Micoware... not Microsoft...
Then again the weasel worders would probably say that product is OS9... not OS 9...
but anyway...

And there's probably an OS 10 out there as well... perhaps in IBM land...

and of course I like the pronunciation of 'OSeX'... but I digress even further...
