As computers have progressed and developed so have the types of operating systems . Therefore there is an infinite number of "types", depending on the way of classifying. For ex: Free or proprietary? Real-time? Unix-like? 16, 32, or 64-bit? Server, desktop, or embedded? By kernel type? To answer your question the classification should be clearly stated. But I hope the following would guide you close.
Within the broad family of operating systems, basically they can be categorized based on the types of computers they control and the sort of applications they support.
The categories are: Real Time OS, Single user single task, single user multi tasking, multi tasking. (or multi user, multi processing, multi tasking, multi threading)
Many computer operating systems will fall into more than one of the above categories.
