Mr. Ramos, Joel, ITSC 1405, Chapter #1
1. Five current operating systems and the computers or configurations each operate.
Allegro- Video games consoles
AROS- Acer Aspire One computers. Icaros desktops, IBM PC compatibles
BlueEyedOS- Linux compatible laptops and desk tops
Oracle VM Virtual Box- x86 and AMD64/Intel64-based computers from Oracle Corporation.
DEMOS- Motorola micro computers and old Unix boxes
2. Five key concepts about an operating system:
User Command Interface
Device manager
Processor Manager
Memory Manager
File Manager 3. The impact of the evolution of computer hardware and the accompanying evolution of operating system software is as follow: As experience with a combination of hardware and software matures; users and engineers gain new visions of what they would like to do next. New hardware is usually paralleled by operating system and system software development. The fielding of new systems results in user and operator feedback that leads to operating system and system software improvement. Innovative users try equipment and software for applications not envisioned by the hardware and software vendors. Successes lead to additional sales and use, which leads to further supporting software development. If there is perceived economic benefit, the hardware vendor will seek ways to adapt to the new needs without necessarily sacrificing basic capabilities. Often this consists of creating a more efficient interface.
4. In my opinion, Moore’s Law been a mere predictor of chip design because served as a "guiding light for venture capitalists, it predicted the changes on the rates of the upgrades and system demand, it did not implemented a motivation for the inventors.
5. An interactive system permits a user to issue commands to the operating system and receive a rapid response. The user may make inputs to a program or process that is being executed, which alters the progress of the execution.
