Ten disk operating systems? Not nearly enough.

Having worked with Tandy, how about TRS-DOS, Xenix, OS-9?

Linux's predecessor Minux?

CPM? How about MPM?

I've used more OS' that aren't on that list than are.

I tire of hearing this tripe.  This could be said for earlier versions of Windows, but not 95.  While 95 maintained a close relationship to DOS, it was much more than a simple graphical shell and did not run on top of DOS as it is often accused.

Not true. While 95 is the basis for all Windows versions from Win95 to WinME, it is still a GUI over top of DOS.

DOS isn't replaced until products that use the NT kernel are introduced.
