Are there other operating systems that you come into contact with? If you can't tell which operating system is in each of these devices, see if you can search the Internet to find out. For each of these devices (to the extent that you can), diagram the hardware/software "layer cake” (Please see Section 1.1 and Figure 13.1 for explanation).
