Your computer is a machine with many different parts. There are the physical parts, such as the hard drive, the mouse and monitor, and there are the software items, including the operating system and the programs that run on it.

There are many different hard drives, and many different mice and other parts available in differing designs and from different manufacturers.

This gives the user a choice, both of the type of item they want and also the price that they are willing to pay for it. The problem is that they are not standard-each manufacture may make them differently.

These differences could be said to make the devices speak different languages to each other. A Microsoft mouse would speak a very different language to a Logitech mouse for instance.

How then, can the operating system speak to all of these different devices, in all of their various languages in order to make them work?

Obviously it would be inefficient to make a different operating system for each manufacturer, and if that were to happen it would still leave the problem of locking users into just one manufacturer for their entire hardware set. This is where device drivers come in. Read the rest of this entry →

The earliest of computers didn’t have an operating system.  By the early 1960’s, commercial computer vendors were supplying quite extensive tools for streamlining the development, scheduling and execution of jobs on batch processing systems.

Through the 1960’s, several concepts were developed which drove the development of operating systems.

The IBM System 360 produced a family of mainframe computer that served consumers with differing capacities and prices.

A single operating system was planned for these computers rather than developing generic programs for every individual model. Read the rest of this entry →
