What is Operating System
Operating System is an interface between the user and the system, by allocated various hardware resources such as memory among various Software and processes.
In addition it also provides GUI interface for users to easily operate upon the system and hardware. It performs job scheduling, system maintenance, which we will discuss in later posts
A Computer system can be roughly divided into 4 parts - Hardware, Operating System, System Software and Application software.

Below the diagram shows the basic interaction of Operating System with hardware and other Software.
In the above figure you can notice that Operating System acts as a link between hardware and software. User interacts on Software and thus operated upon hardware indirectly through Operating System.
