It is one of the first computers to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editor and has a bit-mapped display. The Alto did not succeed commercially, but it had a significant influence on the development of future computer systems. The Alto was designed for an operating system based on a GUI, later using the desktop metaphor.
General Motors Operating System made for IBM 701 [2] MIT's Tape Director operating system made for UNIVAC 1103 [3] [4] 1956 GM-NAA I/O for IBM 704, based on General Motors Operating System; 1957 Atlas Supervisor (Manchester University) (Atlas computer project start) BESYS , for IBM 704, later IBM 7090 and IBM 7094; 1958
It was based on several Digital Equipment Corporation operating systems, mostly for the PDP-11 architecture. Microsoft's first operating system, MDOS/MIDAS, was designed along many of the PDP-11 features, but for microprocessor based systems. MS-DOS, or PC DOS when supplied by IBM, was designed to be similar to CP/M-80. [18]
It's difficult to imagine life today without computers, but the personal computer was barely a reality just 33 years ago. On August 12th, 1981, IBM introduced their first PC model, also known as ...

NestOS - open-source cloud based operating system based on EulerOS, contributed by openEuler community; Redox (written in Rust) [27] OpenSolaris. illumos, contains original Unix (SVR4) code derived from the OpenSolaris (discontinued by Oracle in favor of Solaris 11 Express) OpenIndiana, operates under the illumos Foundation.
CP/M-80 was the first popular microcomputer operating system to be used by many different hardware vendors, and many software packages were written for it, such as WordStar and dBase II. Many hobbyists during the mid-1970s designed their own systems, with various degrees of success, and sometimes banded together to ease the job.
