Different things. Cannot both be used in an argument about PLATFORM. Not a
lie, but a HUGE misdirection.

Uh, oh. I thought I'd followed most of the name changes over the years and I haven't really been confused until right now.

So, let me get this straight --

There is "SERVER", "(Hardware but not Software?)PLATFORM" and "OS".

There have been name changes in all three, and the name changes didn't necessarily happen at the same time, and sometimes the names were the same across two of them but not always.

Did I get that right?
