i have no frekin clue
Open source, such as one of the Linux variants; Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, for example.
The two concepts build upon each other. A single tasking (ST) operating system is necessarily a single user (SU) operating system, but a single user operating system may be a multi-tasking (MT) operating system. For example, MS-DOS is a SU, ST operating system (there was only one "user" and only one program could run at a time), Microsoft Windows 3.1 was a SU, MT operating system (only one user could be logged in at a time, but multiple tasks could run at once), and Windows XP is a multiple user (MU), MT system, as multiple users could be logged in at once, and multiple tasks could be run at once. There is no known example of a MU, ST operating system.

Depending on the base operating system, yes. In almost all cases, the operating system from which the second one is loaded lacks memory protection, allowing the second operating system to replace the first one in memory. This can be used, for instance, to boot Linux from MS-DOS or classic versions of Mac OS.
The 6 operating system is a computer operating system that was released in 1985. It was developed by Microsoft and was the first operating system to be released by the company. The 6 operating system is based on the MS-DOS operating system and was the first version of Windows to be released. The 6 operating system was succeeded by the Windows 3.1 operating system.

A Disk Utility is an application that is built into the Macintosh operating system. It allows one to format, modify and/or erase a hard drive, either internal or external, that is hooked up to one's Macintosh computer.
An Operating System manages resources. Memory is one example of resource management.
Probably the Xerox one for their experimental prototype Alto computer workstation. That inspired Jobs and Wozniac of Apple to make the one on the Lisa, then the Macintosh.
One example of a time-sharing system is the bank's bankcard system, which allows hundreds of people to access the same program on the mainframe at the same time. The Multics & Unix operating systems are time sharing Operating Systems
By system software, do you mean the Operating System; Window 7 being one example? I use Ubuntu on most of my computers.

Micro-Kernel: A micro-kernel is a minimal operating system that performs only the essential functions of an operating system. All other operating system functions are performed by system processes. Monolithic: A monolithic operating system is one where all operating system code is in a single executable image and all operating system code runs in system mode

Yes. Windows 7 is a system distribution in the Windows family built around Microsoft's proprietary NT operating system. Ubuntu is also one of many Linux distributions built around the open source Linux operating system.
Microsoft is not an Operating System.
