Operating System

When you hear the term operating system, what comes to mind?

Exactly!

Most people use an operating system everyday on a computer they use, they just aren't familiar with the phrase.  A computer without an operating system, is just the pieces that you see.  The operating system is what is what makes the computer work.  The most common operating system is Windows by Microsoft.  For those of you that are more experienced computer users or have more life experience, you may remember DOS.  This is what was used before an operating system was installed.

So there you have it! An operating system is used to make your computer run.  If you can use that in a sentence, you will use the word of the day.  One of our upcoming entries will discuss what a Linux based operating system is!

Don't get too excited!
