OS = Operating System
It is a piece of system software that basically allows the software on your computer to interface with and control your hardware devices.
Think of the OS as a Sherbert Lollypop. To get to the sherbert center you have to get through the candy outer layer.
Same thing applies to computers. For a piece of software to control a certain device, you have to interface that piece of software with the operating system which, in turn controls the hardware devices.
Hope this was sufficient.

It means operating system....it a program in which looks after the computer... for example anytime you press a key on your keyboard the operating system is responsible for telling the computer what key you pressed and therefore take appropriate action.....the operating system looks after your hard drive mouse and any other bits and pieces you have connected to your computer....windows,Unix,Linux are all operating systems.
