The history of operating systems dates back to the early days of computing, with systems like MS-DOS and Unix laying the foundation for modern operating systems. In the 1980s and 1990s, Microsoftβs Windows and Appleβs macOS became dominant in the consumer market, each offering distinct user experiences and graphical interfaces.
As technology advanced, operating systems evolved to support mobile devices and modern computing needs. Today, we have operating systems like Windows 10, macOS Catalina, and mobile OSes like iOS and Android, each designed to provide users with smooth, intuitive experiences. The future of operating systems will likely involve greater integration with cloud computing, virtual reality, and AI.
