1.2 Evolution of Operating Systems

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson 85% of the students are expected to:

1. find out the history of operating systems.


2. enumerate some examples of programming languages.
3. differentiate multi-programming, time sharing and sneakernet.
ICT III
Multi- - involves the simultaneous operations
rogramming of many jobs of the computer that splits
its resources on these jobs.

Time is a special type of multiprogramming that allows


users to access a computer through terminals, or
sharing - devices with keyboards and screens.

UNIX is an operating system which is now widely


- used for advanced computing, originated as an
experimental timesharing operating system.

C language - language used by Ritchie and Thompson


In writing the UNIX operating system.

IBM PC XTIBM microcomputers, including the IBM PC
and the IBM PC XT could run Microsoft Xenix, a UNIX-
like operating system from the early 1980s.
XenixXenix was heavily marketed by Microsoft as a
multi-user alternative to its single user MS-DOS
operating system.

The 80286-based - was the first computer technically
IBM PC AT capable of using dual mode operation,
and providing memory protection.

Classic Mac OS, and - supported only


Microsoft Windows cooperative multitasking, and were
1.0-Me very limited in their abilities to take
advantage of protected memory.
ICT III
1977 - Apple Computers created their first computer.
It popularized the phenomenon of personal
computing.
1981 - Introduced the IBM Personal
Computers
• These first computers introduced by Apple and IBM were
stand alone.
