NOTES:
- Microsoft Windows Operating System: graphical user interface environment that consumers utiltize to run applications, such as Adobe Photoshop. There are many different types of operating systems, such as Apple OS X and Linux-based systems such as Ubuntu. The current version of Apple's operating system is OS X 10.5, aka "Leopard". It's based on OpenBSD, which has similarities with Linux. Linux is an open-source operating system, meaning all the program code is available to anyone. The first operating system many remember is MS-DOS, which is Microsoft Disk Operating System.
