ADVANCED LIST OF MICROSOFT OPERATING SYSTEM VERSIONS

For interested persons is this list, in order to specify as much as possible operating systems already existing. Who would like to know whether the operating system with the name xyz really exists or has existed, this is a excellent source to start. Commercial, free, open source and operating systems developed at universities as well as their derivatives are included. It does not take place a distinction after the level of development, application purpose, distribution or hardware platform. Operating systems with only different version numbers are considered only if they are technically clearly different to each other.
 
This list offers hundreds of operating system product and project names, many of them are based on the same operating system more or less with more or less differences in the source code. The most operating systems can be traced to few development lines and derive from a small amount of system software. This applies especially to Linux distributions with a low number of main distributions. Further projects which largely use the same code base have forged to new distributions. Depending of this there forged smaller projects with differences in the composition of the applications or source code. Other operating system families are Windows and Unix.
You are welcome to inform me about missing operating systems to nearly complete this list.
Who has informations about missing operating systems and like to be part of this project is welcome to inform me over e-mail too.
