What is an Operating System?
• An operating system is software that manages
computer hardware and software resources and
provides common services for computer programs.
• The operating system is an essential component of
the system software in a computer system.
Application programs usually require an operating
system to function.
• In simple language it can be said that An OS is a
piece of software that is needed to run the programs
on a computer or a mobile device. The programs
that run on an operating system talk to the
hardware.
There are various Operating Systems(OS) in today’s world.

Advantages of Mac OS
Easy to Use
The Mac OS is much easier to ease than any other operating system.
Even people who are not familiar with it can operate it easily.

Integration With Apple and Other Products

Mac OS will automatically recognize and work with any other Apple
product, such as iPhone, Cinema Display, Airport, and iPad. On top of
this, additional drivers are rarely needed for non-Apple products.

Mac OS can run Windows at the same time

Mac OS runs on Intel chips, which means you can run XP or Vista
concurrently with Mac OS, with Boot Camp or Parallels software.
Advantages of Mac OS
Reliability
Because OS X was designed from scratch from the ground up,
Mac OS is incredibly stable. Apple controls production from start
to finish, so every part of a Mac is designed and tested to work
together.

Design
It’s engineered to take full advantage of what the hardware
is capable of. And it’s designed to deliver the most intuitive
and integrated computer experience in the world.
Disadvantages of Mac OS
Gaming
If you're a computer gamer, Mac OS isn't going to do it for you.
Boot Camp and Parallels will allow you to run games natively in
Windows, but there may be a performance hit. Some games are
produced for Mac OS, but the number is very small.

Price
All that flashy secure reliable power comes at a price. Macs cost
more than machines that run other operating systems. The result is
you're paying a premium to have what is often the highest-end
hardware on the market.
Disadvantages of Mac OS
Fewer Software Options
Not all applications are yet available for Mac Unlike Windows.

Cannot be upgraded/customized
There are upgrade options when you buy a Mac, but unlike a
Windows PC, you cannot mix and match components. The easiest
way to upgrade a Mac is to buy a new one.
