In HN, the headline currently reads:

     Latest Intel, AMD chips will only run Windows 10 and Linux, BSD, OS X
But on thereg it reads:

    Latest Intel, AMD chips will only run Windows 10... and Linux, BSD, OS X
The ellipsis implies that Intel's and AMD's chips run other OSes too. In fact, according to thereg, they'll run "homebrew kernels", which I'm glad for. I don't want to be limited to Windows and Unix-derivatives. I agree with commenter jcbeard that the headline should be changed to "Windows 10 is the only Windows OS that will support latest processors", or something similar.

Lol, the ellipsis can also mean... information is left out.
