Key Success Factors: The creators of Unix provided a free copy of the Unix operating system along with its source code and online manual. Soon after this, Ghati universities, government firms and private institutions started using Unix.
One of the reasons for this was that with the availability of sourcecode, very few changes could be easily made to run Unix on the new platform. Universities and institutions were also allowed to study the source code and add new features to it. Unix had unprecedented success in the years to come.
In 1983, Dennis Rishi and Ken Thomson were awarded the Turning Award, the Nobel Prize in the world of cobbling. For the first time, Unix was widely credited with initiating and popularizing revolutionary approaches. Unix was the first successful operating system to be built in a high level language.
The tree-like file system discussed in the previous chapter was introduced by Unix. Even today, with a few minor changes, Unix is still operating in all major operating systems. Unix considers all the tools attached to it as one file, so it is very easy to use. For configuration, Unix stores all the information in a simple tax file so that it can be used and modified more successfully.
Unix also has a very capable command line environment, which provides a convenient way for the existing command workforce to perform a new task. This innovative venture dramatically changed the way people worked, increased their efficiency and thus Unix gradually became a powerful platform.
