Embedded system
An embedded operating system is an operating system for embedded computer systems. These operating systems are designed to be compact, efficient, and reliable, forsaking many functions that non-embedded computer operating systems provide, and which may not be used by the specialized applications they run.

true
Embedded operating systems cannot be replaced with other operating systems. embedded system are designed for dedicated applicationembedded system are tailored to specific application.
An embedded system can include an Operating System to perform support functions for the application software and hardware. Because of the restrictive nature of an embedded system, its operating system will be compact and more efficient and will exclude many of the capabilities necessary in a general operating system. No. It is because the basic definition of embedded system is that it involves hardware and software for a single application. The device that is using an operating system may be an embedded system. But the operating system itself is not an embedded system It is because that it is only a software but not the combination of hardware and software.
Yes. It is because the embedded system involves a hardware that can use a software. This is where we need an operating system.
ð An embedded system is differ from the general purpose in the view of their purpose. The general purpose computers are the computers that are designed to perform many operations and which can be reconfigured for a new purpose where as an embedded is designed only meant for one purpose.ð An embedded system has a self-contained operating system on a "chip" hence embedded into the system and does not depend on having a hard disk with the operating system on it, whereas in the general purpose computer an operating system need to be present in the hard disk.ð Example for an embedded system is a portable music player; example for general purpose computer is PCs.

If you are talking about a P.C (or Mac) operating system, then it would be an information system. An embedded system is something like that in a modern washing machine. It only deals with a pre- set range of parameters, and is often run on specifically designed hardware, with the memory containing the "system" physically attached to the chip.
FreeBSD is an operating system for computers and embedded systems and is used by computer professionals and it offers a fast and stable operating system than can be used for any purpose.
