It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. technology. The results demonstrate, according to Unisys that Intel-based servers, leveraging the enterprise capabilities provided by the advanced Microsoft Windows 2000 operating environment and Intel processors, are eroding market territory once dominated by UNIX/RISC technology. |
