multi tasting is doing it with some 1 but single tasking is coin it by yrself :)
multiple tasking is that in which more than one tasks are are processed in a single cpu . but when a single task is is going on in a single cpu it single tasking
these types of operating systems can not used for multitasking.
no of tasks can be done at a time is called multi tasking no of programmes can be executed in a single system is called multi programming
Multi-tasking. Single-tasking systems would not be able to run multiple programs at once(for example drivers and a browser).
Single user, multi tasking
Almost all modern computer hardware, including the Macintosh range of computers, and operating systems are multi-tasking.
It supports multi-user multi-tasking.
multitasking infers the mechanism to run many processes simultaneously with user interaction. multithreading is a mechanism of running various threads under single process within its own space.
differences between single user single task os and single user multi task os
singletasking is OS which will opperate for single operations,Multi-tasking is a property of an Operating System, not hardware. As implied by the other answers, multi-tasking is the ability to actively manage execution of more than one process or thread simultaneously. That is, the Operating System itself can schedule and manage multiple thread or processes running simultaneously.
Multitasking is a method for multiple tasks to share a single resource, like a CPU. This is usually accomplished in software via special programming.Multiprocessing is the use of multiple CPUs in the same computer and the method of splitting tasks between them. This is usually done with hardware on the motherboard.
There is a big difference between DOS and Windows7,Windows 7 is new operating system and DOS is old operating system from 1980. Windows7 is multitasking and DOS is only single tasking. Windows7 is easy to learn and understand but DOS is not. Windows7 we can play games play songs watch movies but in DOS doesn't.
