Ummh, not quite:

Not anymore - at the point where the EX-series arrived on 
the scene, based on currently supported software which is 
JUNOS 9.3, the all EX platforms shared a single image (but 
still separate from that used by the M/MX/T).

This changed in 9.4, where the EX3200, EX4200 and EX8200 
each got their own image.

With 10.1, the EX2200 was added, with its own image too.

With 10.2, the EX4500 was added, with its own image too.

I believe this is where the "a single OS" mantra could still 
apply. The core interface is generally the same across all 
platforms, although there are now a few platform-specific 
differences. Not that hard to keep track of, but worth 
taking note of all the same.

What I do like with JUNOS is what Cisco have done with IOS 
XR (and I hope they don't change that) - just two feature 
sets, one with SSH, and another without.

Cheers,

Mark.
