How do you exit the operating system on computers?
Basically, you shut the computer down. Procedure for that depends on the specific operating system. Operating system is what makes a computer do things. Even the thing the loads the main operating system for a given computer is a small operating system in itself. For example, the thing that loads Windows or Linux up is called BIOS, and that stands for Basic Integrated Operating System. Once you exit all the operating system(s) you may as well shut down the machine (if it does not shut down by itself.)

What impact does an organization's operating system have on its structure?
The structure of an organizations operating system is really impacted by the philosophy of the way an organization wishes to "operate". The two concepts are intertwined, and subject to change. In some circumstances, the structure of an organization can be changed based on the performance of its operating system. A break down in the operating system may cause the organizations structure to be changed.
When a computer's operating system is down does the computer run very slowly and inefficiently?
No. If the computer's operating system is down then the computer is also down. A computer requires a functional operating system of some kind. If there is no operating system at all, you must install one by booting the system from an operating system installation disc. This, in turn, loads a limited but temporary operating system sufficient to complete the installation. If there is an operating system but it is damaged to the point the computer will not boot at all, you must re-install the operating system. If the system fails to boot due to a driver issue, you must reinstall the faulty driver. A system typically runs very slowly when the chipset driver is not installed. A generic driver will be installed instead, but this often leads to less than optimal performance as certain hardware features will not be available. Indeed, any major driver (graphics, audio, network, fixed-disk, SM bus, etc) that is replaced with a generic driver can lead to reduced performance. Another common cause for reduced performance is incorrect hardware settings in the BIOS setup.
Why is it important to check the minimum system requirements when installing an operating system?
The operating system is loaded into the computers internal memory (RAM) at start-up. The operating system needs to 'reserve' chunks of memory to enable it to perform its functions swiftly and accurately. If a computer doesn't have enough RAM, the computer cannot run the operating system efficiently, often using empty hard-disk space - which slows down the computer.

How an operating system works?
