Many filesystems found on common operating systems, including the NTFS filesystem which is used in modern versions of Microsoft Windows, store files and other objects only as a stream of bytes, and have little or no information about the data stored in the files.

At that point, applications would gain the modern features that were available from Microsoft in Windows NT since 1993.

By 1995, many of the DOS-based BBSes had begun switching to modern multitasking operating systems, such as OS / 2, Windows 95, and Linux.

Additionally it was necessary to carry over design decisions from earlier versions of Windows for reasons of backwards compatibility, even if these design decisions no longer matched a more modern computing environment.

A number of features from Windows 98 were incorporated also, such as an improved Device Manager, Windows Media Player, and a revised DirectX that made it possible for the first time for many modern games to work on the NT kernel.

Printing improvements are problematic because legacy software systems often add no formatting instructions, or they use protocols that are not usable in modern PC / Windows printers.

Notably, Windows is one of the few modern desktop / server OSs that does not include SSH by default.

Also Altsys Virtuoso, version 2 of which was ported to Mac OS and Windows to become Macromedia FreeHand version 4, the modern " Notebook " interface for Mathematica, and the advanced spreadsheet Lotus Improv.

Applying the scheme discussed above on a fairly modern Windows based system typically results in the following drive letter assignments:

Applications on modern versions of Windows suffer less from this issue following the introduction of the. NET Framework, registry-free COM and features in the operating system that prevent system files from being overwritten.

* The XRender extension to the X Window System ( this includes modern UNIX and Linux systems )

A version of the game can still be found as part of the bsdgames package on modern BSD and Linux operating systems, where it is known as " wump.

Modular operating systems such as OS-9 and most modern monolithic operating systems such as OpenVMS, Linux, BSD, and UNIX variants such as SunOS, and AIX, in addition to MULTICS, can dynamically load ( and unload ) executable modules at runtime.

Both are commonly present on most modern operating systems, including Mac OS X, most distributions of GNU / Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and OpenVMS.

Although largely superseded by IRC and other modern systems, it is still included with most Unix-like systems today, including Linux, BSD systems and Apple's OSX.

Despite the existence of vi clones with enhanced featuresets, sometime before June, 2000, Gunnar Ritter ported Joy's vi codebase ( taken from 2. 11BSD, February, 1992 ) to modern Unix-based operating systems, such as Linux and FreeBSD.

* Mosaic for modern Linux systems

* ELF in modern Linux, System V, Solaris, and BSD systems,

Nearly all modern mainstream server operating systems ( such as BSD, Linux, Solaris or Windows Server ) can provide iSCSI target functionality, either as a built-in feature or with supplemental software.

Often heard arguments against OSS are: the API is practically impossible to virtualize, it lacks support for modern audio features such as timer-based scheduling or proper surround sound support, inability of its developers to work with the Linux kernel community, lack of integration with modern kernel features such as the device model, too low-level interface, as well as general rejection of its design with moving a lot of signal processing code into the kernel.

The most common mobile operating systems ( OS ) used by modern smartphones include Google's Android, Apple's iOS, Nokia's Symbian, RIM's BlackBerry OS, Samsung's Bada, Microsoft's Windows Phone, Hewlett-Packard's webOS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo.
