Hardware Requirements Complexity and Coordination Quiz

Simple structure in operating systems refers to well-defined portions of the system with carefully defined inputs, outputs, and functions.

MS-DOS is an example of an operating system that does not have a well-defined structure.

The layered approach in operating systems involves breaking the OS into multiple layers with the hardware at the bottom and the user interface at the top.

<p>The layered approach allows implementers more freedom to change the inner workings of the system and create modular operating systems.</p> Signup and view all the answers
