The document defines an operating system as a group of programs that control a computer's processing, loading and storage of applications and data transfer. It acts as an interface between the user and hardware, managing the flow of software and data. Operating systems like Windows, Linux, and OS X allow users to run programs without coding knowledge and make computers easier to use. They provide advantages like multi-tasking capabilities but no disadvantages, as computers require an operating system to function.
2. MEANING

being that without an operating system, a computer
would not be able to function, at least where it would
be any more than a series of static pictures.
7. OPERATING SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
DOS
Windows
Window NT Processes data in 32 bit
chunks.
UNIX
Highly portable
OS/2
single user system
widely used with personal computers.
Uses icons to execute programs
Uses point-and-click method to execute
programs

monitor
Have multi-task and multi-processing
capabilities.

multi-tasking, multi-user, operating
system
This 32-bit operating system support
multi-tasking, making it faster than DOS
8. Conclusion
computer devices now a day are very important. Through the advance of
science and technology it helps people to do their work at a faster rate.
Operating system is one of the most important devices that install in
computer to make it running. Different version of computer is needed
different operating system to install. Operating system, applications,
input/output storage, working storage, unused storage are classified as
the main memory. It is really blessing for the people through the
introducing of computer.
