RE: i/os...

Because Cisco already owns the trademark on i/OS, and Apple is
licensing it, and using the lowercase i for /everything/ (and was doing
so before IBM was)

Nobody else seems to remember that Compaq (now HP) had that
lower-case-initial-i in their iPAQ products before the turn of the decade.
Back then I always thought that the name iPOD was a poor choice, for that
reason. Funny how things turn out.
