Non-Windows, non-Unix-like OS's?
- by dsimcha
Since most operating systems I've heard of besides Windows seem to derive their heritage from Unix, I've been curious whether any OS's with the following characteristics exist:
Not generally considered Unix-like, i.e. wasn't designed with Unix compatibility as a primary goal, doesn't use X11 as its default GUI in the most common distributions, doesn't support Unix commands by default, etc.
Not in the Windows NT family.
Is a modern production operating system, not a purely legacy operating system, a research/hobby project or an OS that's still in an alpha state.
Is targeted at commodity x86/x64 PC hardware.
