Operating systems are the software that make computer hardware go. They control the hardware and provide abstractions that, in conjunction with programming languages, enable programmers to write applications that make the computer useful. Most *systems* have operating systems, even if most computers (that show up in things like thermostats, smoke detectors, and the like) do not.
