The first simple "operating system" was a program called IBSYS that IBM released for the IBM 7090 transistorized computer in 1960. IBSYS was derived from a program IBM's customer General Motors had written for their IBM 701 and IBM 704 computers and contributed to the IBM computer users group SHARE. SHARE had rewritten General Motor's original program, calling it SHARE Operating System for the IBM 704 and IBM 709 which was the version adapted by IBM to make IBSYS. IBSYS was not like modern operating systems however and would now be called a batch monitor program..
