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).
It makes them cheaper to build. Therefore they can sell them at a competitive price.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Computers were built for, of course, Humans.
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.
