 A multitasking, multiuser computer operating

system originally developed in 1969 by a group

of AT&T employees at Bell Labs. The
term Unix is often used informally to denote any
operating system that closely resembles the
trademarked system.
 Is a Unix operating system derivative developed
and distributed by the Computer Systems
Research Group (CSRG) of the University of
California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.
Historically, BSD has been considered a branch
of UNIX—"BSD UNIX", because it shared the
initial codebase and design with the
original AT&T UNIX operating system.
 Is a series of Unix-based graphical
interface operating systems developed, marketed,
and sold by Apple Inc. It is designed to run
exclusively on Mac computers, having been pre-
loaded on all Macs since 2002.
 Unix-like computer operating system assembled
under the model of free and open source
software development and distribution.
 Android, for example also uses the Linux kernel but
includes different components to most desktop Linux
distributions.
 Is a Linux-based operating system designed
by Google to work exclusively with web
applications. Google announced the operating
system on July 7, 2009 and made it an open
source project, called Chromium OS, in
November, 2009.
 Is a family of proprietary operating systems
designed by Microsoft Corporation and primarily
targeted to Intel architecture based computers.

Over the years, there have been
many different versions of
Windows, but the most popular
ones are Windows 7 (released in
2009), Windows Vista (2007),
and Windows XP (2001).
 Mac OS is a line of operating systems
created by Apple Inc.

 All of the recent versions are known

as Mac OS X (pronounced Mac O-S Ten),
and their specific version names
are Lion (released in
2011), Snow Leopard (2009)
and Leopard (2007).
 Apple also offers a version called Mac OS
X Server, which is designed to be run on
servers.

 According to Stat Counter Global Stats,

Mac OS X users account for 6.3% of the
operating systems market as of June 2011
- much lower than the percentage of
Windows users (over 90%).
 Linux (pronounce LINN-ux) is a family of open
source operating systems.

 This is very different from proprietary software like

Windows, which can only be modified by the company that
owns it (Microsoft).

 Each distribution has a different look and feel, and the

most popular ones include Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora.

 Linux is named after Linus Torvalds, who created

the Linux kernel in 1991. The kernel is the computer code
that is the central part of an operating system.
 Chrome is an operating system based on
the Linux kernel and designed by Google.
 Since Chrome OS targets computer users
who spend most of their time on the
Internet, it is mainly a web browser.
 Amiga OS is the default native operating system of
the Amiga personal computer.

 It was developed first by the Amiga

Corporation then sold to Commodore International,
and initially introduced in 1985 with the Amiga
1000.

 Early versions (1.0-3.9) run on the Motorola 68k

series of 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors, while
the newer Amiga OS 4 runs only on PowerPC
microprocessors.
 Mobile devices such as phones, tablet computers, and mp3
players are very different from desktop and laptop
computers.
 Examples of mobile operating systems include Apple
iOS, Windows Phone 7, and Google Android.

For desktop and laptop computers:

•Microsoft's Windows is the most used at 69%

•Apple's macOS at 17%
•Google's ChromeOS at 3.2% (in the US up to 8.0%)
desktop Linux at 2.9%.

In addition, 5% is attributed to "unknown" operating

systems - which are likely forms of BSD or obscure
varieties of Linux.
For smartphones and other pocket-sized
devices:

Android dominates with 71% market share,

and Apple's iOS has 28%
