Explain The Differences Between Unix Operating System And Dos/window Operating System?
DOS and Unix are not languages, they are Operating Systems.
DOS = Disk Operating System, the true term is Microsoft Disk Operating System if you are referring to the Microsoft product.
A piece of software that controls and manages all the devices inside the computer.
And there are many thousands of examples of things in the world that are more in use than others, not because they are better, but simply because of political/religious/economic/advertising factors.
It is a common misconception that William Gates created the MSDOS, he simpy purchased it from an unsuspecting stooge who did all the hard work.
MSDOS is a single task, single user system, and is designed to run only on the machine it is installed on. Unix is a multi user, multi-task system which was designed to be used non-centrally, ie over a network.
Unix doesn’t see a “computer”, it sees a series of connections to devices. MSDOS sees only the local computer.

see both r operating systems but both r different things with different features and working style
the windows operating system is the easiest operating system designed ever and it is very easy and convenient to use for any one
while on the other side the unix is a new operating system it has it different ways to work and it is not commonly used world wide like the windows os is used
and any one can not simply work on the unix
next is that most of the softwares r made according to windows os and to perform with it
so i will say that the windows is the bestdude
good luck
