In this era of information accruing and sharing, we people hardly can deny that computers are a must in our life – isn't it? And we must salute the computer scientists who work throughout their life to prepare operating systems which would lead to smooth our usage or the interaction with the computers. Whatever you name from the very common "Windows XP" to "Amiga" – the primary goal of these operating systems are to bridge the gap (which remains ever) while a human being communicates with a computer. Without these software it could not be possible to interpret human thought into computer language. How come we could get so much speed in our work process without the computers! Well the operating systems manage the whole computer in its work process.
