You can. Solaris (a certified UNIX system) is fully capable of being dual-booted with Windows.
There are several ways. One is to have Samba configured on the Unix system so that the Windows system has access to it. Another way is to install the lpr service for windows (most Windows servers now have that service as an installable service). 'lpr' is the Unix printing spooler which would allow you to use the lpr command in windows to print to a Unix printer.
Yes. Some versions of Unix are capable of running on the same hardware as Windows. Mac OS X, a certified version of UNIX, includes a utility known as "Boot camp" to install Windows in a dual-boot setup easily. Solaris 10 can also be used in a dual-boot setup by carefully partitioning the drive and setting up GRUB.
Cygwin is one of the best tools for Unix installation in Windows 7. Just download and run it for installation. Memory usage and thread utilization of Cygwin are comparably low.
Of course you can as far as you have drivers for OSes which are compatible with your PC. You can do it in two ways. First is to install two separate systems on the same computer and boot the one you need. Second is to use virtual machines ether under Windows or Unix. There is a third way when you can have installed two systems on the same computer and still use virtual machines, for instance, if you have access windows files from Unix.
Yes.
They aren't examples of the same operating system. Unix is a classification of operating system; Solaris is an example of Unix. But Windows 2000 is a version of Windows, and not related at all to the other two.
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
Since there isn't a UNIX 95 or UNIX 98 per se, I think you are referring to Windows 95 or Windows 98..
tHE QUESTION WAS WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETEEN unix and windows 7, but i did not get the appropriate answer.
unix and linux systems are true multi user (root + others) but in windows admin and main user are same !
A Unix shell can be obtained in Cygwin, a Unix compatibility layer used to compile Unix programs and run them on Windows. Microsoft also makes a shell known as "Windows PowerShell" which incorporates more Unix-like features than the standard command prompt.
To install from source, you may have to use ./configure make make install each in case the server is a unix server
