It is a Graphical User Interface. You can do things visually, using the mouse and you see things as graphics, as opposed to the old command line interfaces, where you just saw text and had to remember and type in commands to use it.

What are the differences between dos and operating system?

The letters DOS stand for Disk Operating System. So DOS is an operating system. It is more commonly referred to as a CLI (Command Line Interface) because you have to type commands one at a time. Any version of Windows (from Windows 95 onward), or the Macintosh OS, are operating systems that have a GUI (Graphic User Interface). (Older versions of Windows, such as Windows for Workgroups 3.11, were basically a GUI that ran on top of DOS. You had to start Windows by typing the command WIN at the command line, or add the command to a file called AUTOEXEC.BAT, so that Windows would automatically start when you booted the computer.)
