Just for clarification, Windows 1.0 through Windows 3.11 were not true operating systems. DOS was the operating system used. Windows 1.0 through Windows 3.11 were actually "shells" or "graphical user interfaces (GUIs)"

Before Windows NT 4.0, came Windows NT 3.51 (Workstation and Server)

Send a message via ICQ to sm8000 Send a message via AIM to sm8000 Send a message via Yahoo to sm8000
Well, he did say server family, so that implies inclusion of 2000 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server

It's Xenix, actually. http://www.icselectionguide.com/X.html has more information on it.
