It explains that an operating system is software that runs on a computer to control memory, manage disk space, and communicate with hardware. It then outlines the three main types of operating systems - Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Microsoft Windows is proprietary and has home and professional versions. Mac OS X is also proprietary and has two versions. Linux is open-source and can be modified by anyone, making it cheaper than proprietary systems.
