　　are basically only two operating system families represented
　　at this benchathon: Unix and NT.

　　Of course, SPEC members who are vendor employees
　　keep their employer’s interests in mind. For example,
　　an employee of a company that makes big-endian
　　Unix systems makes sure that the playing field is not
　　tilted in favor of little-endian NT systems.
