Operating Systems
Operating Systems
• Activities performed by the operating system:
–Perform common computer hardware functions
–Provide a user interface and input/output management
–Provide a degree of hardware independence
–Manage system memory
–Manage processing tasks
–Provide networking capability
–Control access to system resources
–Manage files
Operating Systems cont’d
• Hardware independence:
–Application program interface (API):
•Allows applications to make use of the
operating system
• Memory management:
–Allows computer to execute program
instructions effectively and to speed
processing
Operating Systems cont’d
User Interfaces
• User interface and input/output management:
–User interface:
•Allows individuals to access and command the computer
system
–Command-based user interface (CLI):
•Requires that text commands be given to the computer to
perform basic activities
–Graphical user interface (GUI):
•Uses icons and menus displayed on screen to send
commands to the computer system
Contemporary Operating Systems
• Microsoft PC operating systems:
–Windows XP
–Windows 7
–Windows 8
• Apple computer operating systems:
–Wintel
–Mac OS X
• Linux:
–Red Hat Linux
–Caldera OpenLinux
Workgroup Operating Systems
• Windows Server:
–Can be used to prevent unauthorized disclosure of
information
• UNIX:
–Can be used on many computer system types and platforms
• Red Hat Linux:
–Can manage a cluster of up to eight servers
• Mac OS X Server:
–Includes support for 64-bit processing
Enterprise Operating Systems
• z/OS:
–IBM’s first 64-bit enterprise OS
• HP-UX and Linux:
–HP-UX:
• Robust UNIX-based OS from Hewlett-Packard
• Supports Internet, database, and business applications on
server and mainframe enterprise systems
MS-DOS 6.22
1994 Last version
Windows 8
Command
Prompt
Windows 8

Command Prompt
The Windows Command Prompt is Not MS-DOS
 MS-DOS was a small OS
 It had no security features
 It had a simple CLI and no native GUI
 The MS-DOS command interpreter was
command.com
 The Command Prompt command interpreter is
cmd.exe
 Command Prompt is subject to Windows security
