Features: With the increasing depth and breadth of computer applications today, the operating system has not only become a mandatory course for computer science students in universities but also gradually a mandatory course for students in various electronic-related disciplines. How to explain the principles of the operating system in an accessible way to students, and how to help them understand and familiarize themselves with the widely popular microcomputer operating systems DOS/Windows, is the purpose of writing "Practical Operating System Technology." This book introduces the system architecture of DOS/Windows from the perspective of an operating system, with content that highlights practicality (user interface, resource management), analyzing the internal structure, file storage mechanism, and system operation mechanism of DOS/Windows from the viewpoint of a computer operating system. The book is divided into 8 chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction to Operating Systems; Chapter 2: DOS/Windows System Composition and User Environment Configuration; Chapter 3: Memory Management; Chapter 4: Process Management; Chapter 5: Job Management; Chapter 6: Disk File Management; Chapter 7: Device Management; Chapter 8: Chinese Information Processing. In terms of content selection, the book strives for conciseness and practicality, with a chapter arrangement progressing from simple to complex and explanations that are easy to understand, with clear examples. It can serve as an ideal textbook for operating systems in junior colleges, computer vocational schools, or various electronic-related disciplines, as well as a teaching material for computer training classes. It also holds significant reference value for a broad range of technicians engaged in PC development and application, as well as computer enthusiasts.
