Batch OS
Efficiency Sequential Processing
Maximizes resource utilization by running jobs Tasks are processed in batches, with each job
sequentially without user interaction. completed before the next begins.

Limited Interactivity Example


No real-time interaction, as the OS runs tasks Early computers used batch processing for tasks
without user input. like payroll processing.
Time-Sharing or Multitasking OS
Shared Resources
Allows multiple users to access the system simultaneously.

Interactive Experience
Enables users to interact with the system in real time.

Resource Allocation
The OS manages resource allocation to ensure smooth operation for all users.

Modern OS
Modern operating systems, like Windows, macOS, and Linux, are
primarily time-sharing OS.
