What is a single user multi tasking operating system?

The two concepts build upon each other. A single tasking (ST) operating system is necessarily a single user (SU) operating system, but a single user operating system may be a multi-tasking (MT) operating system. For example, MS-DOS is a SU, ST operating system (there was only one "user" and only one program could run at a time), Microsoft Windows 3.1 was a SU, MT operating system (only one user could be logged in at a time, but multiple tasks could run at once), and Windows XP is a multiple user (MU), MT system, as multiple users could be logged in at once, and multiple tasks could be run at once. There is no known example of a MU, ST operating system.

In the defense in dept strategy what could be done to help prevent a system from booting into a alternate operating system?

When considering cyber security strategies we should always take a proactive risk management approach. Part of the process is identifying the threat vectors which in your case would be anything that could be used to circumvent the boot disk. On a PC, disabling any boot device (Network, CD, USB or other hard drive, etc.) other than your actual boot disk is a start. The bios setting must also be protected with at least a password to prevent someone from altering those settings. Consider putting a lock or rivet into your PC chassis to prevent someone from accessing the battery and internal components too.

These are things we do at Lazarus Alliance when helping corporations with proactive cyber security services such as IT Audit & Compliance (FedRAMP, PCI, HIPAA, SOX, SSAE 16, ISO 27001), IT Risk Management, IT Governance & Policies and Cybervisor services.

Why do electronic devices and computers need operating systems?

They need an OS as this is the main program that operates the computer. Without this installed, all you would be able to do is switch on a device and nothing would happen. A better way to explain it would be that an OS is the programming of the computers brain, without it the computer would not know what to do with information imputed to it. OS systems take away the need to type in command language into the computer, so it also makes computing more efficent.

Viruses and Worms can be difficult to remove from a computer. Software tools are required to remove viruses and repair the computer code that the virus has modified.
