[This lifted from the Netscape -vs- Microsoft thread. This is truly frightening! GUY99] To: +Daniel Schuh (13692 ) From: +Daniel Schuh Sunday, Oct 26 1997 4:57PM EST Reply #13715 of 13716 What is an OS, don't ask TechWeb- I just happened to pop over to the techweb encyclopedia entry on operating system, and I hope nobody cites them in court. Sheesh. The main difference between an operating system and a network perating system is its multiuser capability. Operating systems, such as Maccintosh System 7, DOS and Windows, are single user, designed for one person at a desktop computer. Windows NT and UNIX on the other hand are network operating systems, because they are designed to manage multiple user requests at the same time. Who are these guys? Where do they come up with this stuff? I guess Multics must be, retroactively, a network OS now, along with every timesharing system of the past 30-odd years.
