How is OS X a server based operating system and Widows is not?
Cheers!What is the difference between a server based operating system like OS X and Windows?
There are basically two types of operating system - desktop orient(at)ed and server orient(at)ed. The server orient(at)ed versions offer workgroup management and administration software tools that provide simplified access to common network services, including a mail transfer agent, a Samba server, an LDAP server, a domain name server, and others.
You can get a desktop edition or server edition of Windows (sorry - had to laugh at your typo "Widows") but since most people only need a desktop version and it is pre-installed on most PC's, you have to buy it. Most server versions of Windows are bought for just that - to run on a server.
