user of a computer and the computer hardware. It will help them to plan and design
computer systems that integrate computer hardware, software, and communications
technologies.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• Identify the types of Computer Operating System;

• Differentiate Windows/MAC OS and LinuxComputer Operating Systems
operationally;
• Classify operating system and its logo and developer.
