Distributed Operating System.

If you want to make use of the Network, you must know the machine address and the variety of services provided by that machine. But Distributed Operating System ensures that the entire network behaves as a single computer. Getting access to the remote resources is similar to access to local resources. The user’s job is executed in an idle machine and the result is communicated to the user machine. The user is under the illusion that everything is done only in his/her computer. In a distributed operating system a user is not aware of multiplicity of machines. The future of the operating system may be Distributed Operating System since all the computers become a part of one or other network. But the virus attacks discourage people to get connected to the net.
