•
The master control program that runs the computer. The first program loaded when the
computer is turned on, its main part the “kernel”, resides in memory at all times. The operating
system sets the standards for all application programs that run in the computer. The
application “talk to” the operating system for all user interface file management operations .
Also called an “executive” or “supervisor”. (Freedman, Allan, Computer Desktop

The most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose computer must

printers. (http://www.webopedia.com TERM/o/operating_system.html)
