Operating Systems

1. User Interface

   • The User Interface lets the user interact with the hardware by Command Line or GUI (Graphical User Interface). This UI lets the user issue commands and see data clearly.

2. Security

   • The user will have a password to enter to log on or become an administrator. The OS controls who can read, write and execute on a system.

3. Multi-Tasking

   • The OS manages how much processing each program needs to have because a processor can only execute one command at a time.

4. Peripheral Management

   • The OS manages Peripheral Devices and needs drivers to communicate with the hardware.

5. Memory Management

   • Memory Management is a key feature of an OS. Memory management manages where the programs will go.
