linux has loats of shells available. the most widely used one is bash

AFAIK Macs use ksh

windows has a new shell called powershell you can use for really serious shell scripting

I think they used csh before, but when I got a Mac (early 2006) Terminal.app was running bash by default. If they changed the default to ksh, I'd be surprised. Of course, you can use whichever you want; more than one is installed.
