An operating system is an essential piece of software that every computer uses to control its base functions. Most of us are familiar with Windows, macOS, and/or Linux, but there are some so obscure that most watching will see them first hand. For example, did you know Microsoft released a copy of Windows for Legacy PCs? Or that Apple simply slapped the Platinum look and feel on NeXTstep, and callled it Mac OS X Server 1.0?
In this video, we're going to install five operating systems that are so obscure, you've probably never heard of them before. They are, in order:
* Dell UNIX - gunkies.org/wiki/Dell_UNIX)
* Windows for Legacy PCs - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Fundamentals_for_Legacy_PCs
* Mac OS X Server 1.0 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Server_1.0
* Sprite - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(operating_system)
* Windows 11 for ARM
* COS
Music used in order from YouTube Creator Library:
* Jeremy Blake - Heaven and Hell
* Huma-Huma - From Russia With Love
* Patrick Patrikios - The Awakening
* DivKid - Icelandic Arpeggios
* Kevin MacLeod - Five Armies
* Jimena Contreras - Hopeless
* Huma-Huma - Hydra
