Computers these days have many components and are built up of many things whether it is programs, or any other form of software. These things are what computers need in order for them to operate and run properly. The operating systems of computers are also a key component of the computer and in order for it to run. Operating systems are the things one may find on software such as Microsoft.

Microsoft itself is also made up of many components such as its icons and applications. Microsoft is like air to humans. Without it we cannot breathe. A computer without software is a dead computer. These components of Microsoft are what make the computer work.

An operating system is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer. Operating systems are commonly found in many electronic devices such as hand held computers, desktop computers, supercomputers and even video game consoles. Today, operating systems offer a number of services to application programs and users.  An operating system whether it is for a computer or any other electronic device has one set of tasks to perform, very straightforward input to expect (a numbered keypad and a few pre-set buttons) and simple, never-changing hardware to control.  The operating system controls your computer’s tasks and manages system resources to optimize performance. So as you can see, the operating system of any electronic device is significantly important as to the operation of the device and how it runs.
