      @brianwinkelmann said in Operating Systems Overview - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

      So the disadvantage to choose LINUX is based on the drivers for different devices that you will use

      That's incorrect. Linux has much broader driver support than Windows, and both have much broader support than MacOS. Support for more hardware is actually a huge benefit to Linux. That's why Linux and BSD are available on more platforms than any other OS.

      What would you call Xbox One system, a hypervisor or OS?
      http://wccftech.com/xbox-one-architecture-explained-runs-windows-8-virtually-indistinguishable/

      If the article is accurate it would have to be a hypervisor. With a dom0 running an anorexic windows 8.

      Sounds like they use the term RTOS as a code for hypervisor. They say it is an RTOS but then point out that it is not an OS (in that it doesn't run apps) and that it is a hypervisor (in that it hosts Windows 8.) So either their name is wrong, or their description is.

      Ok, I didnt read the article, I commented based on things i heard from Paul Thurrott.

      So I'll admit my understanding might have been wrong.

      As a side note, Xbox one has been upgraded to Windows 10 now....

      It's weird that the article claims it's a partition not a VM....

      Partition and VM are not competing concepts. Lots of VMs are partitions. One thing (VM vs physical) is about how it runs. Partition vs. something else is just where it is stored. Nothing in saying it is a partition suggests that it is not a VM.

      Now we only have the article to go on, but the article seems pretty clear that it is a VM. But what it really is, no idea.
