INTRODUCTION
An OS is a collection of software programs that helps the computer machine in meeting its basic
functions, and it is responsible for managing computer hardware and software resources. It is
considered the most critical software element on any running processor-based device.

This research will focus on four important aspects in operating system:


● Its Usages and Applications
● Its Reliability and Security Measures
● Its Advantages
● The Programming languages used to build it

Conclusion

Every operating system offered its users a variety of competitive and distinctive features.
However, iOS has emerged as an operating system that is always improving, with a
wonderful evolution chart in terms of usability and security over time. On the other
hand, Android, an open source operating system welcomes the adoption of innovative UI
and accessibility ideas. Whereas, Symbian lacked the continuous updates as compared to
other systems. Thus leading to its decline in popularity and getting discontinued.
