Some are created for personal use, some for business use, and some can be used for both. One of the biggest differences is whether the operating system is open source or closed source.

environmental influences that affect their efficiency. ‘The term Open Systems reflected the newfound belief that all organizations are unique partly because of the environment in which they operate and partly because they should be structured to adapt to unique problems and opportunities’ (Inc.com, 2014) .
