Operating System
• Different sizes of computers typically use
different operating systems because operating
systems generally are written to run on a specific
type of computer.
• For example, a mainframe computer does not
use the same operating system as a personal
computer.
• The same types of computers, such as desktop
computers also may not use the same operating
system.
