The operating system
When the computer is first turned on, (or booted), the BIOS program is in control. After performing a few system checks, the BIOS program turns the computer over to an operating system like Windows XP.
The bootstrap program should automatically load the operating system after a power outage or reset. The operating system would then load the remaining software.

Operating System.
yes, operating system is a program
The operating system is the Main program that runs the applications. Think of you as the "operator" of the car, and the car is the application. You control the car to go.
In preemptive multitasking, when a program does not work properly, the operating system regains control instead of losing it to continue smooth operation. Preemptive multitasking creates reliability of the computer system.
An operating system takes control by effectively managing user input. It also manages both external and internal requests. This can include program and application requests, along with information sent via keystrokes and other protocols. The main function of any operating system is to assist the CPU in facilitating user and program functions.
At this stage, the BIOS still has primary control of the computer. It has loaded a program known as a "bootloader", which loads the operating system kernel (or another bootloader) and hands control over to it.
No. 'DOS' is an acronym meaning 'disk operating system'; not the same thing as 'an operating system'. All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs. For instance; CP/M[1] (the precursor of MS-DOS[2]) is an operating system. As is NOVELL. There are many other examples. [1] Originally "Control Program and Monitor", though later changed to "Control Program for Microprocessors". [2] Microsoft DOS
Main program to control the whole computer is a system software, also called operating system. But to understand what any single device says a system software needs small program called a device driver, which is particular for each single device. A device without a driver driver can't properly work with a computer.
A single program operating system allows only one program to run at a time.
No, Unix is an operating system program. A utility program cannot run by itself; it runs under an operating system.
It called the Operating System.
