Disk Scheduling and Task Scheduler and different terms.

Disk Scheduling: Input / Output Scheduling or I/O Scheduling is a term used to describe the method computer operating systems decide the order that block I/O.

Task Scheduler: Task Scheduler is a component of Microsoft Windows that provides the ability to schedule the launch of programs or scripts at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals. It was first introduced in the Windows 95 Plus! pack as System Agent [1] but was renamed to Task Scheduler in Windows 98. The Windows Event Log service must be running before the Task Scheduler starts up.

What is the difference between a disk operating system and the Windows operating system?

Disk operating system DOS is a computer operating system using line instruction. For a computer system use disk drive as secondary memory. A Windows system is a computer operating system with Graphic User Interface GUI instead of line instruction. There is no difference between them other than what the vendor or creator wants it to be. A disk operating system is a system based on being run from a disk drive. Typically disk operating systems were single user and single task systems. Predecessors to DOS used cards, magnetic or paper tape as as input, output or main storage device. Successors that relinquished the DOS title had multiprocessing, multiuser, realtime or windowing capabilities and were given other names such as OS/360, RT-11, Windows, multics, unix, linux and more. All modern systems are disk based, unless they use solid state drives (SSD), so all are disk operating systems. Microsoft windows as well as unix, linux, OpenVMS all have a windows interface so they can all be windows operating systems but only microsoft makes that claim.
