• Virtual Memory (allows repetitive, extended use of the computer's RAM for performance enhancement)
• Fast TCP/IP Drivers (for speedy communication)
• Shared Libraries (enable applications to share common code)
• Multi-user Capability (this means hundreds of people can use the computer at the same time, either over a network, the Internet, or on laptops/computers or terminals connected to the serial ports of those computers).
• Protected Mode (allows programs to access physical memory, and protects stability of the system)
