Is everyone ok with the type name? OSFlavour, OSKind, OSType ? We can't use OSName since it's not that specific.
OSFlavour - dislike OSType - seems fine. OSKind - again, has a slight "kind of like" OSName - the name of your operating system
Only it isn't the name, it's a general categorisation. The os name might be "Windows Vista(tm)" or "FreeBSD" but the os type is just Windows or BSD.
OSFamily? Or OSGenre, OSGroup, OSCategory, OSClass, OSVariety, OSGenus, ... (Sorry, just ran on a bit with a thesaurus) Alistair ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
