Operating System!

Hi! In this post I'm going to talk about operating systems.

First, I'd like to give you a definition, so you can understand it better:


"An operating system (OS) is a set of programs that manage computer hardware resources and provide common services for application software. The operating system is the most important type of system software in a computer system. A user cannot run an application program on the computer without an operating system, unless the application program is self booting"

Now that you know what an operating system is it's interesting you know which operating systems are most used:
 
Most desktop or laptop PCs come pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. Many corporate servers use the Linux or UNIX operating systems. 

Here you can see a pie chart with the most used operating systems in 2014 with percentages.

 Finally, here it is a list of words related to operating systems and ICT. I think it's very useful, don't you?

- Computer hardware

- Application software

- System Software

-Desktop

- Laptop

- Internet

- Cell phones

- Batch jobs

- Internal Memory
