The user mode is made up of subsystems and it has been designed to run applications written for many different types of operating systems. This allows us to implement any environment subsystem to support applications that are strictly written to the corresponding standard (eg. DOS, or POSIX). diff --git a/content/faq.md b/content/faq.md index c93cbf3..2265614 100644 --- a/content/faq.md +++ b/content/faq.md @@ -40,11 +40,11 @@ some time.
