(either via software or HW-bridgeboard like stuff). I said none of the major OS's were *designed* to be portable. Emulating a platform isn't the same as porting the OS. But as far as Unix popularity with Windows/Windows '95 having a 65% market share, plain old DOS having 10%, and the MacOS having about 11%. That leaves only 14% for OS/2, AmigaOS, all of those Apple II's still running in school, and Unix.
