Identify one or two other popular or historical operating systems and compare their features with those of Linux.
What will be an ideal response?
Windows is the most obvious comparable operating system to Linux, both in terms of architecture
and common hardware platform. Many UNIX (and therefore Linux) features have migrated into
Windows over its lifetime. Linux also competes with traditional “mainframe” operating systems in
some environments. VMS runs on both multi-user minicomputers as well as workstation platforms,
so it is a significant competitor to Linux. MULTICS was considered the state-of-the-art at the time
Thompson and Ritchie began their work on UNIX and is generally considered to be their major
inspiration. Though not in wide use today, it provided many facilities still considered important in
operating systems.
