• The operating system manages all the other programs that run on the PC.
• The operating system provides services to programs and the user, including file management, memory management, and printing
• To provide services to programs, the OS provides system calls—requesting other hardware and
software resources to perform tasks.
Running Programs - Basic Services

• Some operating systems, such as Windows, enable programs to share information.
• You can create data in one program and use it again in other programs without re-creating it.
• Windows provides the Clipboard, a special area that stores data cut or copied from one document, so you can re-use it elsewhere.

• Multitasking is the capability of running multiple processes simultaneously.
• A multitasking OS lets you run multiple programs at the same time.
• Through multitasking, you can do several tasks at one time, such as printing a document while downloading a file from the Internet.
• There are two types of multitasking: cooperative and preemptive.

• The operating system keeps track of all the files on each disk (FAT: File Allocation Table).
• Users can make file management easier by creating a hierarchical file system that includes folders and subfolders arranged in a logical order.

• Processing Interrupts: The OS uses interrupt requests (IRQs) to maintain organized communication with the CPU and other pieces of hardware.
• Drivers: Each hardware device is controlled by a piece of software, called a driver, which allows the OS to activate and use the device.
• Networking: The operating system provides the software necessary to link computers and form a network.
