Comment on Operating Systems: Timeline and Family Tree

This is amazing, but it would be even better if one could zoom in and out, and scroll left to right. On a 1080p display, I could not read some of the names because they were overlapping.

Minor, minor nitpick: I miss NIROS, the NIxdorf Realtime OS. I know little more about it than its name and that it was used on their line of Quattro machines, which I think were kind of minicomputers built around MIPS CPUs. There is another OS by Nixdorf listed, which I know nothing about, is that a different system?
