Disadvantages Of An Operating System
A common example is a company's online store. The transaction processing system coordinates the warehousing and distribution of the item, the credit and bank transaction from the consumer's payment account and the business's management of inventory, sales, profits and payroll. This complex system has many advantages and disadvantages. Due to the above disadvantages of the earlier data processing system, the necessity for an effective data processing system arises. Only at that time the concept of DBMS emerges for the rescue of a large number of organizations.
Operating systems are there from the very first computer generation and they keep evolving with time. In this chapter, we will discuss some of the important types of operating systems which are most commonly used.
Batch operating system The users of a batch operating system do not interact with the computer directly. Each user prepares his job on an off-line device like punch cards and submits it to the computer operator. To speed up processing, jobs with similar needs are batched together and run as a group.

The programmers leave their programs with the operator and the operator then sorts the programs with similar requirements into batches. The problems with Batch Systems are as follows − • Lack of interaction between the user and the job. • CPU is often idle, because the speed of the mechanical I/O devices is slower than the CPU. • Difficult to provide the desired priority.
