Many different operating systems are available in market like Microsoft Windows, UNIX, LINUX, IOS, Android and many more. All the operating systems can’t work in all types of electronic devices. For example Windows OS is best suited for desktop and laptop computers. It can also work with mobile phones. Android and IOS are mobile OS and can be used with mobile phones and tables.
