An OS where the source code isn't released to the public. Windows and Mac are 2 examples.

Classic Mac OS is closed source. Mac OS X is closed source as well, but many libraries and applications within it are open source, e.g. XNU the kernel is open source, and Darwin the underlying UNIX operating system was open source.

No, Solaris is a proprietary operating system.
Nope - the Operating System is a closed program. Applications run as independently as 'extensions' to the core Operating System.
Linspire no longer exists as it was taken over by Xandros in 2008. The Xandros system is a version of Linux and so is closest to an open source system but it has commercial elements that would not meet the requirements for a truly open source system. Sun Solaris no longer exists as Sun was taken over by Oracle. The Oracle Solaris system is part open and part closed source. Apple's Mac OS X is primarily closed source with several open source components. Windows is closed source but with some Shared source components.
The latest open source operating system include the Kubuntu Linux and the Fedora Linux. The open source operating system refers to an OS that runs on a computer and is free for use and to be modified.
