I supposed we can A/UX to the list. So, its A/UX -> AIX -> OS X Server. I do admit an iOS Server would be an interesting product. I guess it would be all containers all the time.

(The chronology of Apple *nix is correct, but they are very different products. A/UX for 68k. AIX for PowerPC is an IBM OS. And OS X from NextStep.)

Yep, which I think is the point of trusting Apple in the server segment. That they are all different adds to the point.
