"Personal computer software is based on specific operating systems and machines. The famous PC operating systems are DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS. DOS (Disk Operating System) was the most popular operating system for IBM and IBM-compatible 16 bit personal computers. DOS is no longer widely used because it has a number of limitations. Microsoft built Windows as an extension of the widely installed DOS operating system. Windows provides not only a graphical user interface (GUI), but also memory management and multitasking capabilities. UNIX is an interactive, multi-user, multitasking operating system that is highly supportive of communications and networking. At present, UNIX is primarily used for workstations, minicomputers, and server computers in multi-user environments. Linux is the free UNIX. It has all of the features you would expect of a modern, fully fledged UNIX: true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared, proper memory management and TCP/IP networking. Mac OS (Macintosh Operating System) supports multitasking and networking and has a highly praised graphical user interface. Multimedia capabilities of this operating system allow Macintosh users to integrate video clip, stereo sound, and animated sequences with conventional text and graphics software.
