Basically mac os and ios is actually same thing both use darwin kernel same graphical stack.

That would be Minix 3, I think, because it runs in (yes, in) all modern Intel CPU's.

One of?

I'm going with the largest, by a huge margin. Unix and it's descendents run everything. Even MS uses it for some things.

Unix has been around since 1969-ish, that's 20 years before NT.

And I've use NT every day since it came out.

I don't consider Linux based os's Unix, which takes most servers and android out of the running. Unix might still be bigger, idk
