Single-user, multi-tasking operating systems allow a single user to simultaneously run multiple applications on their computer. This is the type of operating system found on most personal desktop and laptop computers. Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux are three well-known examples of this type of system.

• manage the computer's resources, such as the central processing unit, memory, disk drives, and printers
• establish a user interface
• execute and provide services for applications software.
