Hey, well their is three major OS that i know of,
Windows OS most popular
Macintosh
Linux/UNIX
these are all operating systems and they each have distributions of each for example windows has windows 7, vista,xp and so on
mac has max os x, lion, ect
linux has the most which include debian(ubuntu), ferdora and so on
Also mobile computing should not be discretited
ANDROID(linux) and iOS(MAC) are the leading ones but webOS, windowsMobile(windows) and others are out there as well

How many angels can stand on the head of a pin? :-)

QDOS (Seattle Computer Products - source of MS-DOS)
PC-DOS (IBM from Microsoft)
MS-DOS (derived from QDOS)
CP/M (Digital Research)
TrsDOS (Tandy OS for Trs80 computers)
Multics (predicessor to Unix)
Unix (AT&T - Bell Labs)
Ultrix (first DEC Unix)
DEC 10
DEC 20 (if you don't have 36 bits, you aren't dealing with a full DEC)
DEC VMS (awesome, but incompatible with the rest of the universe)
Thoth (first micro-kernel OS)
QNX (originally Qunix - based upon Thoth - first commercial real-time micro-kernel OS)
BSD Unix (UC Berkeley version of Unix - source of Apple's OSX and iOS)
Linux (too many versions to name)
AIX (IBM's version of Unix)
HPUX (HP's version of Unix)
SunOS and Solaris (Sun's versions of Unix)
SysV Unix (System 5 Unix - source of Solaris)
Windows (name a version from 1.0 to 8)
.
.
.
And we haven't even touched mainframe systems... :-)

In any case, there isn't enough time in the universe to list them all.

FWIW, I currently have computers that run 2 versions of QNX, several versions of Linux, DOS, Windows (XP and 7), Solaris (in a virtual machine), and I'm not really sure what else. Some of the systems haven't been fired up for a few years.
