Explain single-user systems, Operating System

Assignment Help:

We have stressed the need for an operating system to make efficient use of the computing hardware. When is it appropriate for the operating system to forsake this principle and to "waste" resources?

Why is such a system not really wasteful?

 

Single-user systems should maximize use of the system for the user. A GUI may be "waste" CPU cycles, but it optimizes the user's interaction with the system.
