Fourth Generation

With the development of LSI (Large Scale Integration) circuit s, chips, operating system entered in the system entered in the personal computer and the workstation age. Microprocessor technology evolved to the point that it became possible to build desktop computers as powerful as the mainframes of the 1970s. Two operating systems have dominated the personal computer scene: MS-DOS, written by Microsoft, Inc. for the IBM PC and other machines using the Intel 8088 CPU and its successor s, and UNIX, which is dominant on the large personal computers using the Motorola 6899 CPU family.
