The same base operating system (Darwin) is also found on the Mac OS X operating system, albiet modified for use on a personal computer. The iPhone OS is also designed to be run on a system that contains an ARM processor. It currently cannot be run on any other system, except the iPhone Simulator contained within the iPhone SDK.
The Windows family of operating systems is a more generalized operating system designed primarily for consumer desktop and laptop computers, although specialized versions for mobile phones and other embedded devices exist.
