I've just found mentions of Linux support by Oracle before that, so there were things before IBM and that statement. Though on that page there's no Linux link, but there are AIX, Solaris etc and an NT one.

Feel free to name drop some major finance systems or similar enterprise systems you could run without Microsoft cashing in on the OS in some way between 1990-2005.

Could you please, on the contrary, name some such systems strongly requiring Microsoft really? IIS and AD are not that.

I mean, OK, for the thick clients for administrators likely it'd be many things.

But everything IBM or commercial Unix-based, like, again, Oracle databases.

I'm born in 1996, so don't really know what I'm talking about. Just seems a bit skewed.
