Yes, most machines with built-in computers that perform a sequence of tasks in a precise amount of time require a real-time operating system ( or RTOS ).
Apple's Macintosh computers use Apple's operating system known as OSX. The current version is OSX 10.8.#. Macintosh computers can also run the Windows and Linux operating systems, but those systems are not included in the purchase of the computer.

Alan Turing's experiments in the 1940s were a forerunner of computers. The computers built in the 1970s functioned like today's computers but were much bigger.
Human beings are evolved organisms, whereas computers are machines that are built artificially. Humans run on biochemistry, computers run on electricity. Humans have the capability of conscious thought, whereas computers do their computations unconsciously and with no understanding or awareness of what they are doing (of course, researchers in the field of artificial intelligence want to overcome that limitation).
A hybrid computer is a type of computer that is no longer made. It contains two interconnected computers: a digital computer and an analog computer. In most hybrid computers, part of the analog computer's program is entered manually by plugwires on plugboards and part by the digital computer switching relays and setting digitally controlled pots. The digital computer program was entered from tape or disk.Most of them were custom built systems generally used for control system simulation modeling. The analog computer was programmed to model an open loop real world system and the digital computer was programmed to control it and thereby close the loop. Some systems tested this way were:Nuclear Reactor control systemsAircraft flight control systemsChemical reaction control systemsIndustrial process control systemsetc.Another use of hybrid computers was high speed drawing of "stroke graphics" (dots, vectors, arcs) on random deflection high brightness CRT displays (another long gone technology).The last hybrid computers I saw operating were in about 1986. Haven't heard of any made since then.
Windows is a family of operating systems. Linux is a kernel upon which operating systems are built.
computers are not found. they are designed and built. they are the most complex machines ever built.
No. It may be formatted different on certain operating systems and only the operating systems running off of the central operating system that it was built on will support it.
Most computers come with a built in file management software into the operating system of the computer. You can however purchase Microsofts business management software from their website.
All operating systems interact with hardware.
Most modern operating systems are built around a kernel, but this has not always been the case. Most early operating systems did not make such a division of function.
Apple's Macintosh computers use Apple's operating system known as OSX. The current version is OSX 10.8.#. Macintosh computers can also run the Windows and Linux operating systems, but those systems are not included in the purchase of the computer.
there is no "linux operating system". linux is merely a kernel that operating systems can be built upon, of which there are dozens if not hundreds
Yes it is, it is built into the computer and stores operating systems, programmes and data.
Most operating systems and all Email Clients have already a built in Contact lists.
Video game systems use their own operating systems normally, for example the PS3 has it own operating system that is built in and updated regularly. This said, some systems can use 3rd party operating systems although these are rare and usually pointless. For example Windows 95 can be ported to a PS3 but it pretty pointless and mostly just for show.
