Unisys has also taken their CTOS operating system to POSIX (including
POSIX.1 and POSIX.2).  CTOS has the distinction of being the first
non-UNIX operating system to be certified as POSIX.1 (FIPS 151) conforming.

The HP operating system that is going POSIX is MPE-XL, now called MPE/iX.

IBM has made a strategic announcement saying that their MVS and OS/400
operating systems are going POSIX.

And of course, many UNIX vendors are moving towards POSIX compliance.
