mini computers to which users accessed the systems using terminals
and not PC's. UNIX allowed each user to simultaneously run the
programs they desired. Unlike NT and OS/2, UNIX is not DOS com-
patible. Most users would not purchase UNIX for their own use.
Windows 95 & 98 are the most popular user-oriented
operating systems with a friendly interface and multitasking
capabilities. The usage of Windows 95 and its enhanced version
Windows 98 is so simple that even little kids learn how to use it very
quickly. Windows 95 and 98 are DOS compatible, so all programs
written for DOS may work under the new operating system. Windows
95 requires 486 with 16 megabytes of RAM or Pentium 75-90 with 40
megabytes of free hard disk space.
Vocabulary:
complex — сложный
to consume — потреблять

to realize — осознать smart — умный, умно
decade — декада, десятилетие

Task 13. Answer the following questions:
1) What problems faced programmers in the 1940's and 1950's?
2) Why first programs were «complex» and «time-consuming»?
3) What are the basic functions of operating system?
4) What does DOS abbreviation means?
5) What company developed the first version of DOS operating system?
For what purpose? Was the new operational system successful?
6) What is the difference between the PC-DOS and MS-DOS?
