No
I don't understand this question. As unix is no real time operating system, there is no meaning in using real time operating system in conjunction with unix.

This makes no sense. Neither unix nor windows are real time OS. For use in a real time environment, both systems require special extensions that are not part of the standard unix or windows OS.

Windows CE is a real time OS, but is a development separate from the desktop windows versions. You didn't explicitly refer to Windos CE before, so please excuse my assuming you were thinking of the desktop Windows - particularly with regard to the comparison to unix.
Most people will think of the desktop Windows versions unless explicitely guided to Windows CE.
If you have to write about Windows or UNIX as real time operating systems, I think it is advisable to state that these OS are not real time OS. Then you should go on and explain why not. That is: Which feature is it that designates any operating system as "real time" and whose lack makes (desktop) Windows and UNIX non real time OS?
Hint: The articel on Windows Ce that I linked states this under "features".

look at this pdf file
there are two statement unix as real time operating system and window as real time operating system
I don't understand what is the meaning of both statement in this pdf file
can someone tell me what is this ?

Read the document carefully. It doesn't say that either Windows or Unix are real time OS, it discusses the problems one encounters when trying to use them as real time OS.
Both Windows and Unix can not work as real time operating system.
whats the reason why can't they do this
I mean what is difference between general os and rtos in terms of hardware and software design

Read section 2 of that document. That tell you what an RTOS has to have.
Section 3 tells you why Unix fails. Section 4 tells you some things you can do to Unix to make it better.
Section 5 (specifically 5.2) tells you why windows fails. Section 5.3 compares Linus to Windows (to contrast their failures).
Section 6 deals with POSIX which isn't an operating system, it's an interface convention.
Section 7 tells you about some real RTOS's. Three I'm familiar with are QNX, VxWorks, and WinCE. Both are listed.
I really do advise that you read the materials that are given to you because they actually contain useful information and will allow you to answer the questions. There is an activity called "Study" that involves you reading material given to you. I can highly recommend it. If you're having trouble understanding that material, then ask us questions about the study material, not the questions.
If you look at the summary on page 28 of that document you'll find a list of things that you should be conversant with after reading the material. If you're not, you've missed major stuff and you should review it again.
Some of the exercises at the end relate to the material in this document, others seem to extend beyond it (but I've not studied the document in any detail). OK, I looked at one that I was doubtful about and it's answered in this document. So after studying the document you should be able to either answer these from memory or look them up.
Asking us for answers is no shortcut to actual knowledge, you have to reach an understanding yourself.

On behalf of vead (unnecessayr new thread deletred by me):
operating system that provide interface between hardware and application software like windows
operating system design for different uses
real time used for fast response time
real time operating system it has guaranteed to respond in certain time
general operating system vs real time operating system
1) timing
2)scheduling
3)kernel
4)priority
1)timing -
rtos - it is time deterministic
gp os - it is non time deterministic
2)scheduling
scheduling for os .......?
scheduling for rtos - rtos use time sharing architecture where each task assigned small slice of time to execute its instruction before switching to another task
3)kernel ues in both RTOS and general purpose OS
what is difference between both kernel ?
4)priority - os will run task with their priority
priority for general os - general os don't follow priority level strictly
RTOS follow the priority level strictly

Now that I moved this post: What's the use of this post of your's?
this is different post.. here I have written short notes about how rtos are different from general operating system

No, it's exactly the same.
Read my post above (#11)
People who ignore these warnings can find their threads unceremoniously deleted and then (if they persist) may get given a short holiday from Electronics Point which can easily become permanent.
We don't need to read your posts on why RTOS's are different from other types of operating systems. We especially don't need to read them if you're not asking a discernible question.
If you have a question, ask it. But make sure you've read your handout and tried google first. We're not your unpaid tutors.
And obviously this is all about your homework, so that's the section this should have been posted in.

look at post #12 I have read some material and tried on google THen I have written some short nots
I am not demanding, don't angery , thanks to all member they all always help me lots

I don't think it real time operating system.
Two month old thread with valid answers up top.
Stuart, there are many types and flavours of Real Time OSes and will give plenty of use examples for them. Once you do a little digging around, it becomes quite clear what a Real Time OS is.
It's also very hard to call such a broad term like 'Unix' OS or 'Windows' OS Real-time or not, as there are (albeit, in a very limited way) 'real time' variants.
