The big ones are Microsoft and Macintosh for the PC market, for the Unix market there are quite a few including Solaris, HP-UX, LynxOS, Various flavors of Linux such as "Red Hat" (which is open source), Concurrent and many others.\n\nTo know what you are looking for though we would need to know more about your needs.  When shopping for an OS there are a few questions you should answer first:\n\n- how much money do you want to spend?\n- what are you going to use it for?  Web Server, Application Prototyping, Real-Time systems, File Server?\n- what other systems will it have to interract with?\n- what type of user interface should it have?\n\nGood luck

There are a lot of good GNU/Linux distributions, depends what you want to do. if you want to your desktop, try Mandryba, Lycorix, Ubuntu (KUbuntu, Edubuntu), Gentoo... are the most frindly and easy to install.

click the start button in the lower left hand corner. Click on run.\nType in winver and press enter, that will give you your exact operating system.\n\nPersonally I think firefox is a better browser anyway though.

As in the workstations can have different OSs? Yes.\nThe file server? No. \nYou could boot Linux and then a Windows shell on the server.

People have mentioned to install Linux.\n\nBut the thing is that when you install programs it might not be so FisherPrice if you know what I mean.\n\nIt is quite hard, and Linux isn't just Linux.\nThere are soo many different types,\nFedora Core, Ubunta, Debian, Mandrake, SUSE,Red Hat(which is gone[and No USB support]), and Knoppix and the list goes on.\n\nIt depends really on what you want to do with your computer, is which Linux distribution you would want to install is Debian because it known for it's ease in installing other 3rd party programs to do your odds and ends i.e. converting mp3s blah blah blah. \n\nIf you want to still use your windows products there is a program for linux called Wine which means Windows Emulator, emulates alot of programs nicely. \n\nBest of all Linux's are free, except for Enterprise editions which you have to pay monthly.

I know a few people with non genuine versions and they have been online for years. You aren't a fool. No one expects a computer to contain a os that isn't authentic. Do you know much about changing the os? Try Linux. Look on Ebay for a version with temporary support, it will cost a little but not anywhere near what it costs for Windows. SUSE(a type of Linux) comes with 30 days support when bought in box form. That is the only real drawback with Linux is the lack of official support but there are forums you can pose questions for great answers and most everything is being written for the Linux system also these days. Give it a go if you can't get the Windows to work properly, the great thing about Linux is that once you bought the system, you can put it on whatever computers you want, unlike Microsofts os. Linux want to be spread around the world. They work towards the free and equitable access to the internet and computers for all.

If you're looking for your version...click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System. It should say there. Or try Start -> Control Panel -> System.\n\nIf you want to see a lift of Operating Systems, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system .

OS2 isn't used much any more, though there are still devotees of it, also I don't think its currently even supported by IBM which was its manufacturer, Unix is very good, there are many variants of it, Linux itself being one, but as far as Unix goes, Solaris, True64, FreeBSD and OSX are very nice.  Minix was developed by Professor Andrew S. Tanenbaum as a Unix like operating system to teach the design of operating systems to computer science students but has evolved over the years into a formidable operating system in its own right, though not widely used, Linux was originally somewhat derived from Minix though it was written as a stand alone Unix variant by Linus Torvalds, (a great debate has raged between Linus Torvalds and Andrew Tanenbaum through the years over monolithic versus micro kernels, Minix being a monolithic kernel and Linux being a micro kernel operating system, both have there merits) Linux is great operating system, with hundreds of different distributions to choose from, my favorites are Red Hat and Suse, but that's just my 2 cents worth.
