How do single tasking and multitasking operating systems differ?
What will be an ideal response?
Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text.
• A single tasking operating system allows only one program or app to run at a time. For example, if you are using a browser and want to check email messages, you must exit the browser before you can run the email program. Operating systems on embedded computers and some mobile devices use a single tasking operating system.
• Most operating systems today are multitasking. A multitasking operating system allows two or more programs or apps to reside in memory at the same time. Using the example just cited, if you are working with a multitasking operating system, you do not have to exit the browser to run the email program. Both programs can run concurrently.
