Answer to Question 1

The five most widely used operating systems are Windows 10, Windows Server, UNIX, Linux, and OS X.

Windows Server is used for network servers as well as workstations and PCs, and supports networking tasks. UNIX is used for PCs and network servers and was developed in the late 1960s to support communications and networking across large systems. UNIX is highly customizable. Linux is an open-source variation of UNIX which has become popular as a low-cost alternative to UNIX as well as Windows. Linux powers as much as 35 percent of web servers worldwide. OS X is Apple's operating system. The iOS operating system for mobile devices like the iPhone is derived from OS X.
