personal computers Os are very fixed, the computer needs a keyboard, a mouse and one processor. and at least one monitor and a primary hard drive. while mainframes require very flexible structure. a mani frame can have several hard drives and several processors that cooperate to do the job.

Answer 11

i found this on net
Generally, operating systems for batch systems have simpler requirements than for personal computers. Batch systems do not have to be concerned with interacting with a user as much as a personal computer. As a result, an operating system for a PC must be concerned with response time for an interactive user. Batch systems do not have such requirements. A pure batch system also may have not to handle time sharing, whereas an operating systemmust switch rapidly between different jobs.
