Free operating systems based on Linux (e.g. Ubuntu) Unix based operating systems (e.g. Apple's) Proprietary operating systems that are locked into one manufacturer and therefore expensive (e.g. MS Windows).
Some operating systems that are available with new laptop computers are some more common systems like the following: Windows Vista, and the Vista Ultimate.
Many operating systems now can run on standalone computers and also on networked computers. Standalone or generic operating systems are the ones which run on standalone computers like Windows operating system running on a PC. Network operating systems are the ones which run on a server and can be accessed through client machines connected on the network. e.g. Solaris or Linux running on a server can be used as network operating systems. Even there are Windows server operating systems which can be used by clients connected on the network. ILYAS MAHIDA

Computer Systems Analyst was hot career field back in the 1960's, '70's, and '80's. These were people who were trained to analyze the needs of a company, decide which computer system would work best for them, which software would work best for them, and then to set up the programs that the company would use. This was in the days of main frame computers, which were often tailor made for a given company, depending on what the systems analyst reported. The introduction of desktop computers and the Windows operating systems has almost completely eliminated the job of systems analyst, because the desktop computers are able to be adapted to almost any demands, and the Windows operating systems are designed to allow practically any programs to be run on a desktop computer.
