As we know that the OS is used to operate every device through the drivers present in the OS. So without the OS we cannot communicate with the devices (hardware). For every device some drivers are required to run them and these drives are provided by the operating system. So by this we can see that the OS provides the interface between the user and the hardware, as user does not make the device work he uses the OS.

What is responsible for interacting the Operating System with the hardware?
The user is responsible for interacting the operating ststem with the hardware.
What layer of Windows 2000 is most responsible for interacting with hardware?
HAL, it increases OS integrity because more control is possible
What is the portion of an OS that is responsible for interacting with the hardware called?
HArdware Input/Output Sequence Manager System Control Area of All Operating System help with Drive Communication and or control of all system Hardware and or pheriferials.
What part of the operating system is responsible for interacting with the hardware?
Kernel
Which operating system is responsible for interacting with hardware?
All operating systems interact with hardware.
What layer of Windows XP is most responsible for interacting with hardware?
HAL is the primarly interacts with hard ware.
What does the Windows shell operate in?
The shell is made up of several subsystems that all operate in user mode. The kernel, or core, of the OS is responsible for interacting with hardware. It has more power to communicate with hardware devices than the shell has, and operates in kernel mode.
What layer of Windows 200 and XP is most responsible for interacting with hardware?
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). Limiting access to hardware mainly to the HAL increases OS integrity because more control is possible. With this isolation, an application cannot cause a system to hang by making illegal demands on hardware. (Source: CompTIA A+ Guide to Software Managing, Maintaining, and Troubleshooting.

What is the Layer between the OS and the hardware?
The HAL (hardware abstraction layer) is the layer between the OS and the hardware
Why do OS support all hardware types?
They do not. An OS is specific to processor and hardware type.
What hardware is responsible for input?
the hardware responsible for input is the keyboard
What is hardware controler?
hardware control is a operating system. OS is used to control the elctronic devices(hardware) via user. because user can't control hardware directly so, OS is used to interface computer & user
