UNIX is an OS formulated in 1969 at Bell Labs as an interactive time-sharing system. It was never a proprietary OS and is not owned by either of the leading computer companies. UNIX also is written in a standard language and is comprised of many popular ideas, which led UNIX to become the primary available open standard OS.
