In which industries are using UNIX operating system?

Q. Hi experts!
Please tell me, who are using UNIX operating system in the real world applications.

A. UNIX is on servers, man. Remember Jurassic park? They used UNIX. UNIX is mainly used when you want computing time to go toward something more important than a user interface, like accessing data, like on servers.

How many different families of operating systems exist in unix?
Q. I know that Mac OS, Linux, Open Solaris, and BSD are related to Unix, are there any other operating systems that are based on or related to unix? Please don't not include variants of any of that already mentioned operating systems, such as FreeBSD, Or any Linux-based distros.

Also, is there any other family of operating systems separate from Unix?
I guess what I am looking for is an OS which could be run on a modern computer.

A. PalmOS (hand helds)
Amiga (think they are still making a niche OS)
VMWare - more of a container, but it could be seen as a specialized OS
Brew (used on cell phones)
VAX
Mainframe
IBM OS2

** Edit **
Not sure why I didn't just go here in the first place but here is a big list of OSs:

What are the fundamental difference between Windows,MacOS, UNIX, and Linux operating systems for personal comp?
Q. What are the fundamental difference between Windows,Mac OS,UNIX,and Linux operating systems foe personal computers? what Unique do mainframe operating systems have?

A. Well, I could list about 50 differences per operating system. But if you want the fundamental ones, here they are:

Windows:
* Huge market share, so the most support from third-party hardware and software vendors, including graphics-intensive games and other niche software.
* Comes preinstalled on almost all consumer computers sold.
* Securing is difficult but possible (definitely use a limited user account all the time, no matter how inconvenient)

Mac:
* Pretty to look at (sturdy, polished exteriors; smooth animation, high-resolution icons)
* Expensive
* Well-integrated experience if you go all-Apple (Apple TV, Cinema Display, Airport Extreme, iPhone, etc.)

Linux:
* Extremely flexible, as small or large as you want, live CD/USB or installed, built from the ground up or pre-built
* As long as you don't have obscure software needs, software installation is the easiest you can get
* No activation codes or fees
* Very few preinstalled options (or ones that are badly configured or not configured at all), so you may have to troubleshoot some compatibility issues

That's pretty much it. I could definitely go into the details more, but the last time I did that, Yahoo! Answers cut me off.
