An operating
system (OS) is software that manages computer hardware resources and provides
common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential
component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs
usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems
schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting
software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and
other resources. Below are Best Operation System:
