2. Single-User Operating Systems
Personal
Computing
Designed for individual
use, with a focus on
ease of use and
personal productivity.
Examples
Microsoft Windows,
Apple macOS, and
various Linux
distributions.
Key Features
Graphical user
interface, file
management, and
application support.
3. Multi-User Operating Systems
Enterprise
Computing
Designed to support
multiple users and
maintain system security
and stability.
Examples
Unix, Linux, and
enterprise-level Windows
Server.
Key Features
User management,
resource sharing, and
advanced networking
capabilities.
4. Real-Time Operating Systems
(RTOS)
1 Time-Sensitive
Applications
Designed to respond
to events within strict
time constraints.
2 Examples
VxWorks, QNX, and
FreeRTOS.
3 Key Features
Deterministic
scheduling, low-
latency response,
and support for real-
time tasks.
5. Network Operating Systems (NOS)
Networked
Computing
Designed to manage and
coordinate resources in a
networked environment.
Examples
Windows Server, Linux
Network Operating
System, and Novell
NetWare.
Key Features
File sharing, user
management, network
security, and remote
administration.
6. Embedded Operating Systems
Resource-Constrained
Devices
Designed to run on devices with limited
hardware resources, such as
microcontrollers.
Examples
Android, iOS, and various real-time
operating systems.
Key Features
Small footprint, real-time responsiveness, and specialized hardware support.
7. Mobile Operating Systems
Android
Developed by Google,
Android powers a wide
range of smartphones and
tablets.
iOS
Apple's mobile operating
system, designed
exclusively for their iPhone
and iPad devices.
Windows Mobile
Microsoft's mobile
operating system,
designed for smartphones
and handheld devices.
