The need for multi-tasking operating systems including Unix, Linux, Windows xp , 2000 etc. in a single user machines is for simultaneous access to many applications. For example while using internet explorer wants attach some document file(.doc) it is not updated then he needs to open the Ms-Word, edit it and save it then attach it and simultaneously he can open the pdf file with acrobat reader for referring some digitized book etc. And can search for some information with google it is possible only because of multi-tasking operating systems-Manjunath Doddamani NSL Bangalore.
