Linspire no longer exists as it was taken over by Xandros in 2008. The Xandros system is a version of Linux and so is closest to an open source system but it has commercial elements that would not meet the requirements for a truly open source system. Sun Solaris no longer exists as Sun was taken over by Oracle. The Oracle Solaris system is part open and part closed source. Apple's Mac OS X is primarily closed source with several open source components. Windows is closed source but with some Shared source components.
