ABSTRACT
This is arguably the most complex area with which IT professionals deal; Operating Systems (OS) are usually one step removed from the intricacies of hardware. This taster does not attempt to describe the features or the many problems that are associated with operating systems, rather it limits itself to brief observations on key performance areas. Tannenbaum’s
Modern Operating Systems (second edition)
is highly recommended to any reader who is interested in the detail of operating systems.
