1.
What is the main difficulty that a programmer must overcome in writing an
operating system for a realtime environment?
( five points )
( Ans should not be more
than 6 lines)

2. Keeping in mind the various definitions of operating system, consider whether

the operating system
should include applications such as Web browsers and mail programs. Argue both
that it should and that
It should not, and support your answers.
( five points ) ( Ans within
10 lines )

That depends on what will be the quality and efficiency of Web browser and mail
program. If you want to develop a quality product then you should include Web
browser and mail program but that will cost you a little more. If you do not have
resources to develop other application programs along with operating system it is
better to leave it.
