Why do I say "some vendors"? Well, if I say "some OSs", it sounds like
I'm definitely excluding Linux distributions (and I risk doing something
embarrassing like writing "OSes") and if I say "some distributions", it
sounds like I'm only referring to Linux.

It does sound unbelievable or nonfunctional, doesn't it?
