Operating system (OS) is system software that helps the user to operate the computer and manage its resources. The primary purpose of the OS is to act as an interface between the computer and the user. As computer is a digital device which understands and works only in binary languages (also known as machine language that a computer understands) made of 0’s and 1’s only. It is impossible for a common people to work through or under the binary language. Hence, OS acts as an interface between user and computers. It makes the user to work with computer very easy like copy, type, print etc can be done very easily due to OS.
Without OS a computer can’t be used or it can’t be operated. OS manages all the resources of the computer i.e. CPU, memory, and input output devices. Operating system also helps other application to run in the computer very easily. Operating system creates working environment between user and the computer. OS can be said as the sole of the computer without which a computer can not work or be operated.
Some commonly used OS are MS-DOS, windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and its series, Linux, vista etc.
