Each user gets his own OS. Actually this is partially true. Any processor complex can be split into logical partions (LPAR) using PR/SM (Processor Resource/ Systems manager) and different OS' loaded onto them. These partions operate independently, except when they share the IO devices. Each user getting his/her OS is a stretch, since max is something like 10.

The traditional OS is still MVS with a lot of qualifications after it like MVS/ESA etc (actually they seem to use that and OS/390 interchangeably). Then there is OpenEdition MVS, which is UNIX 95 compliant. There is even an online shell called OShell, which can be used to run UNIX commands from MVS. For list of all commands see http://ppdbooks.pok.ibm.com:80/cgi-bin/bookmgr/bookmgr.cmd/BOOKS/BPXA504/2.0 > I thought it was VM that ran multiple operating systems, not MVS.
