      Chapter 1: What is Operating System? Explain Types of OS, Features and Examples

      What is an Operating System?

      An Operating System (OS) is a software that acts as an interface between computer hardware components and the user. Every computer system must have at least one operating system to run other programs. Applications like Browsers, MS Office, Notepad Games, etc., need some environment to run and perform its tasks.

      The OS helps you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's language. It is not possible for the user to use any computer or mobile device without having an operating system.

       

      Introduction to Operating System

       In this OS tutorial, you will learn:

      What is an Operating System?

      History Of OS

      Examples of Operating System with Market Share

      Types of Operating System (OS)

      Functions of Operating System

      Features of Operating System (OS)

      Advantage of using Operating System

      Disadvantages of using Operating System

      What is Kernel in Operating System?

      Difference between Firmware and Operating System

      Difference between 32-Bit vs. 64 Bit Operating System

      History Of OS

      Operating systems were first developed in the late 1950s to manage tape storage

      The General Motors Research Lab implemented the first OS in the early 1950s for their IBM 701

      In the mid-1960s, operating systems started to use disks

      In the late 1960s, the first version of the Unix OS was developed

      The first OS built by Microsoft was DOS. It was built in 1981 by purchasing the 86-DOS software from a Seattle company

      The present-day popular OS Windows first came to existence in 1985 when a GUI was created and paired with MS-DOS.

      Examples of Operating System with Market Share

      Market Share of Operating Systems

       

      Market Share of Operating Systems

      Following are the Operating System examples with the latest Market Share

      Types of Operating System (OS)

      Following are the popular types of OS (Operating System):

      Batch Operating System

      Multitasking/Time Sharing OS

      Multiprocessing OS

      Real Time OS

      Distributed OS

      Network OS

      Mobile OS

      Batch Operating System

      Some computer processes are very lengthy and time-consuming. To speed the same process, a job with a similar type of needs are batched together and run as a group. The user of a batch operating system never directly interacts with the computer. In this type of OS, every user prepares his or her job on an offline device like a punch card and submit it to the computer operator.

      Multi-Tasking/Time-sharing Operating systems

      Time-sharing operating system enables people located at a different terminal(shell) to use a single computer system at the same time. The processor time (CPU) which is shared among multiple users is termed as time sharing.

      Real time OS

      A real time operating system time interval
