If the computer system divided into layers, then the Operating System is the liaison between the layers of hardware and software layers. Further than that, Operating System do all essential tasks in the computer, and ensure that applications can run different simultaneously smoothly. Operating System ensure other software applications can use the memory, perform input and output of other equipment, and have access to the file system. If several applications running simultaneously, then the operating system appropriate arrangements, so far as possible all the processes running to get enough time to use the processor (CPU) and do not interfere with each other.
