                <p>The operating system (OS) is the program which starts up when you turn on your computer and runs underneath all other programs - without it nothing would happen at all.</p>
                <p>In simple terms, an operating system is a manager. It manages all the available resources on a computer, from the CPU, to memory, to hard disk accesses.</p>
                <p>Tasks the operating system must perform:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>Control Hardware - The operating system controls all the parts of the computer and attempts to get everything working together.</li>
                    <li>Run Applications - Another job the OS does is run application software. This would include word processors, web browsers, games, etc...</li>
                    <li>Manage Data and Files - The OS makes it easy for you to organize your computer. Through the OS you are able to do a number of things to data, including copy, move, delete, and rename it. This makes it much easier to find and organize what you have.</li>

                </ul>
                <p></p>
                <p></p>
                <p></p>
                <p></p>
