Introduction

Any computer system has an operating system.
The user interacts with the machine via the operating system.
An operating system (OS) is the software that provides an interface between the computer hardware and the application programs or users.
An operating system is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and sharing of the resources in computer.
The OS acts as a host for application programs that are run on the machine.
As a host, one of the purposes of an OS is to handle the details of the operation of computer hardware.
OS offers a number of services to application programs and users.
Users may also interact with the OS by commands or using a graphical user interface (GUI).
There are various types of operating systems, but all of them essentially perform the same functions.
