[Tim]

Mobius (Actually, the "o" has 2 dots on top of it)

The ? often falls off, so Mobius is also correct.

In full, it's "The M?bius Operating System"...

[Pype.Clicker]

of course, there's also

Xenix (MS's attempt to do a unix)
Irix (Silicon Graphics' unix)
RiscOS
Solaris (aka SunOS)
Mach (the microkernel, which MacOS X is based on)
System V (another unix -- the one that is opposed to BSD)

[Whatever5k]

And "Flick", of course

[Solar]

The sheer length of that list, not to speak of growth rate, made us chose a project name instead of a product name, postponing naming our product until we actually have one.
