Solution Manual for Survey of Operating Systems, 6th Edition Answers to Multiple-Choice Quiz 1. Correct answer: A. macOS, because it is only legal to use it on Apple computers. B is incorrect because Windows 10 can be licensed for PCs. C is incorrect because Windows 7 can be licensed for PCs. D is incorrect because Linux is available for PCs, and there is virtually no licensing issue with most distributions. E is incorrect because Windows 8 can be licensed for PCs. 2. Correct answer: B. Integrated circuit (IC) is a small electronic component made up of transistors and other miniaturized parts. A is incorrect because a peripheral is a device that connects to a computer, such as the video and network adapters, USB ports, and digital cameras. Peripherals and the computer itself contain ICs. C is incorrect because a tablet is a type of microcomputer and therefore contains ICs. D is incorrect because a mouse is a peripheral device, not an individual IC. E is incorrect because the vacuum tube is the component that the integrated circuit replaced. 3. Correct answer: E. Lotus 1-2-3, an electronic spreadsheet, was the killer app that made the IBM PC a must-have business tool. A is incorrect because Microsoft Word is a word processor that evolved with the PC, but did not have the killer app effect of Lotus 1-2-3. B is incorrect because, although VisiCalc was a very important application for users of the personal computers that predated the IBM PC, and was the obvious model for Lotus 1-2-3, it did not play the role that Lotus 1-2-3 did in the success of the IBM PC. C is incorrect because BASIC is a programming language, and although the IBM PC included a BASIC interpreter in ROM, it was not a compelling must-have business tool. D is incorrect because PC DOS is an OS and not an application, and it alone could not play the role that Lotus 1-2-3 did.
