The prime examples of this are the <a href="/wiki/File_system" title="File system">file system</a>, which is fully integrated across machines, as opposed to Unix which draws a distinction between file systems on the host system and on others, and the user administration system, which is fundamentally network-based.

It improves on AEGIS by providing a core OS upon which the user can install any or all of three <a href="/wiki/Universe_(Unix)" title="Universe (Unix)">environments</a>: AEGIS, System V Unix, and BSD Unix. This was done in order to provide greater compatibility with Unix; AEGIS version SR9, which immediately preceded Domain/OS (itself numbered SR10) has an optional product called Domain/IX available, which provides a similar capability, but with some drawbacks, principally the fact that core administrative tasks still require AEGIS commands. Also, the SR9 permissions system is not fully compatible with Unix behaviour. Domain/OS provides new administrative commands and a more complex permissions system which can be configured to behave properly under any of the three environments. Domain/OS also provides an improved version of the <a href="/wiki/X_Window_System" title="X Window System">X Window System</a>, complete with <a href="/wiki/Visual_User_Environment" title="Visual User Environment">VUE</a> (HP's predecessor to <a href="/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment" title="Common Desktop Environment">CDE</a>), but performance tends to be poor.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

However, later HP/Apollo machines (the DN10000, DN2500 and 4xx series workstations) can only run SR10. </p><p>Unlike many operating systems of the day, which were written in <a href="/wiki/C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a> or <a href="/wiki/Assembly_language" title="Assembly language">assembly language</a>, many Domain/OS components are written in <a href="/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language)" title="Pascal (programming language)">Pascal</a>.

Additional functions can be added by user programs. One of the unique features of the DM is "universal editing". All text in any of the built-in windows can be edited using the same editing language. This includes the history displayed in a transcript window, although that text is read-only. In addition, the history is unbounded. It starts from the birth of the process to which it is attached, and older history is never deleted.
