distinguish between multi-tasking,multi-user,multi-
processing and time sharing?
Answer Posted / amitshiknis
Multitasking: The ability of an OS to do more then one
thing at atime. for instance, you can be downloading a
large file and still use another program to do something,
like write a book.
Multiuser: A computer system the can handle more then one
user at a time. Windows is not a multiuser OS. It can
handle only one user at a time.
Multiprocessing: The chip in new computers is able to do
more then one task at a time because there is more then one
processing unit on/in the chip.
