The first interactive, general-purpose time-sharing system usable for software development, Compatible Time-Sharing System, was initiated by John McCarthy at MIT writing a memo in 1959. [17] Fernando J. Corbató led the development of the system, a prototype of which had been produced and tested by November 1961. [18]
Time-sharing was first proposed in the mid- to late-1950s and first implemented in the early 1960s. The concept was born out of the realization that a single expensive computer could be efficiently utilized by enabling multiprogramming, and, later, by allowing multiple users simultaneous interactive access.

The Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) was the first general purpose time-sharing operating system. [2] [3] Compatible Time Sharing referred to time sharing which was compatible with batch processing; it could offer both time sharing and batch processing concurrently. CTSS was developed at the MIT Computation Center ("Comp Center").
Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS) is a time-sharing operating system developed principally by the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, with help from Project MAC.The name is the jocular complement of the MIT Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS).
From Time-sharing system evolution: In the 1960s, time-sharing was a new concept, a departure from the batch processing approach previously used with computers. ... Today, of course, virtually all operating systems are time-sharing systems.
The Dartmouth Time-Sharing System (DTSS) is a discontinued operating system first developed at Dartmouth College between 1963 and 1964. [1] It was the first successful large-scale time-sharing system to be implemented, and was also the system for which the BASIC language was developed.
The Berkeley Timesharing System was a pioneering time-sharing operating system implemented between 1964 and 1967 at the University of California, Berkeley.It was designed as part of Project Genie and marketed by Scientific Data Systems for the SDS 940 computer system.
After the release of Version 10, the Unix research team at Bell Labs turned its focus to Plan 9 from Bell Labs, a distinct operating system that was first released to the public in 1993. All versions of BSD from its inception up to 4.3BSD-Reno are based on Research Unix, with versions starting with 4.4 BSD and Net/2 instead becoming Unix-like.
