UNIX Operating System
Computers are run by operating systems, which are computer programs organizing and utilizing the computer's processing functions. An operating system lines up the jobs, and assigns them to their proper places. It tells the CPU to perform various functions and checks the data moving through the various devices of the computer. Later, when multitasking became possible, several operators could use the system to perform jobs at the same time. There are many operating systems for a computer user to choose from, the most popular include Microsoft's MS-DOS and Windows, the UNIX system from Bell, and Apple's Macintosh.
