History of operating systems. The first operating system was created by General Motors in 1956 to run a IBM mainframe computer. And then In 1960 s, IBM was the first computer manufacturer to take on the task of operating system development and began distributing operating systems with their computers.GE, Digital Equipment Corporation are some of the companies who ...
