Unix is a multitasking operating system, which allows the computer to run several programs at the same time. By going quickly from one task to another and performing a little bit of each task every time, the operating system gives an impression of doing many things at the same time. Unix uses this technique of time-sharing. Unix is also able to interact with more than one user at a time. This feature of Unix makes it a multitasking system.
