What is difference???????

What is differences that exist in different muliuser os like Unix, Linux, Sun OS, HP-Ux, D-Ux, Open VMS, os/2 etc??
I don't want the answer for the above question in terms of syntax??

Unix is a multi-user system which was developped by USL (Unix System Laboratories) , part of ATT.
it was an open system free distributed, also the sources .
it was so free and open , it was cloned by several developpers, like SCO, Berkeley, and alson IBM ....
so is now in proprietary configuration, and systems are not compatibles (or so few),
and the names can be called *IX (unIX, aIX....) (we can say today *X)
while, others multi process have been developped, most differents, like OS2.

Is sufficent as explanation?

It seems to me that the answer given is pretty Unix centric. The question was for multiuser OS', not just Unix. That means you have to talk about at least about VMS, MVS, and Multi-User NT (i.e., Terminal Edition and Citrix) in addition to *X. BTW, OS/2 is not multi-user.

True. And again with alittle more info on the end proposal they might even be suggested. Such as; few users and low cost I might mention linux. Being used for a dedicated purpose such as mail server, or a game server, or an intranet, etc (but not all at once) and ease of administration is a factor then I might recommend NT.
If a dedicated web server for a single corporation was the project and security was a factor then I might recommend a MAC. Everything has its Pros and Cons, its arenas where it can excell.

This question was awarded, but never cleared due to the JSP-500 errors of that time. They were "stuck" against userID -1 versus the intended expert whom you awarded. I needed to manually fix a number of these for you today. All your points will be verified at the end of this manual process, and the experts whom you awarded will finally get these points. Inasmuch as grades in history never were reflected, I will assume that they were "A" grades, since anything less than that recommends Asker's input as to why, and none evident here. The HELP DESK link has more about this and the QA/Grading process as well as Guidelines and Member Agreement. This correction process is manual and will take about an hour. I'll update all questions with this comment so you are advised.

Thanks,
