AnswerAssuming you're like the 99% who are using PCs or MACs: An operating system resides on your local computer and it's function is to allow the software to work with the hardware on that machine. A network operating system allows multiple computers to connect to each other, controlling the sharing of devices, files or programs. This resides on a shared computer called a "server".
That depends on the version and if it is a legitimate installation or not. Older macs cannot run newer versions of the apple operating system because of hardware and software updates, and demand for faster hardware. A PC can run the apple operating system with certain files replaced to trick the operating system into thinking the computer is a mac. So, in short, we would need specifics, and even then, it would be almost impossible to tell.
Currently the latest version of Mac OS X is 10.5.8
There are basically four types of operating systems. They include Batch Operating System, Multiprogramming Operating System, Network Operating System and Distributed Operating System.
There is only one operating system specifically for the Mac that being Mac OS X. The current version of Mac OS X is 10.7 which is also known as Lion. Macs can run other operating systems such as Windows or Linux if required.

The Apple Macintosh operating system is called Mac OS X.
If the PC is made by Apple then the current Apple operating system is 100% compatible. Other PCs with other operating systems will have varying degrees of compatibility with the current Apple operating system.
The Mac is a PC. Perhaps you mean a PC running the Windows operating system. Macs can run the Windows operating system. There are many Macs. There are many PCs. There are many versions of Windows and Mac OS X. There are many applications. There are many ways of measuring "faster".

Mac is short for "Macintosh", which is the Operating system that Apple computers run on. Apple products that run the Mac operating system include: Mac Pro, iMac, Powermac, Mac mini, Macbook air, and macbook pro. To clear some confusion, not all Apple products are macs. iPads, iPods, and iPhones are iOS devices, not macs. Popular beliefs say that macs are not vulnerable to viruses, but they are, just like other Operating systems, but they're still not as vulnerable as windows. Macs are expensive because of the high quality operating system and high quality software Apple makes, unlike Windows computers, no one else is licensed to sell the Mac Operating system, thus it makes the computer's demand price more expensive because of the exclusivity.
