one of the differences as i understand it is that win95 doesnt have usb support, win98 does but you need the right drivers on disc - usually from the usb hardware manufacturer - and win2000 and xp have usb plug and play capability. i think there's some sort of similar progression with the networking capabilities too

There are several differences between the original Mac OS and windows. Two of these differences include the fact that Widows was susceptible to viruses while Mac was not, and the MAC did not have menus in their windows. You could close a window and have the application still run. Windows had menus on each window and when the window was closed, the application stopped.

That's a new question! Now then, the differences between Windows 7 and Vista Basic are: that Windows 7 has multi-touch for all the supported hardware, it looks much more advanced for the era of technology that we are currently in and it works much faster as well.
There is no such thing as "Windows Linux." Linux is not a version of Windows and has nothing at all to do with Windows. They are two totally completely different operating systems made by completely different people.
There are numerous differences between Windows and Apple desktops. However, with the advent of Windows 8 the differences between it, and Windows 7 are almost as much as with Apple. The key is that Apple has no start button and uses a dock that can be positioned along the bottom or sides of the screen. Apple's desktop is also more active being able to actually store files rather than mostly shortcuts to files located elsewhere. The difference is subtle, but important.
