What are the difference between utility programs and operating system?
Operating System control the overall operation of the computer and it interacts directly with the hardware. Two other types of system softwares (that interacts directly with hardware) are Device Drivers and Unility Programs. Utility Programs provides an addition to the capabilities provided by the Operating System. These are the computer programs that perform a particular function related to computer system management and maintenance. Some examples of Utility Programs are Antivirus, Data Compression Softwares, Disk Optimization Softwares, Data Backup Softwares etc.
What part of the operating system that allow the the user to communicate with the computer system?
Generically speaking, it is the shell or user interface. It may be a command prompt or a graphical user interface (or a combination of both). The layer of the operating system that is directly accessible to the user is known as the application layer; it runs all of the applications that the user interacts with.
What is the role of operating system software?
The operating system is the software that directly controls the computer and other hardware, providing support services to other software, such as applications. Applications are what most people work with most of the time, and include word processors, spreadsheets, Internet software, games, and so on. Examples of operating systems on small computers include various versions of DOS, the Macintosh OS, and Windows. Some operating systems are designed for specific computers. Others, such as UNIX and LINUX, are designed to provide a generalized interface for many types of computers.
What is a Guest Operating System?
A Guest operating system is one that runs on top of another, similar to a program. Guest operating systems are usually run in a "virtual machine", which does not interact directly with the real hardware of the computer.
Can a computer run without an operating system if it has a good application?
Yes, the earliest computers built did not have operating systems (the idea of an operating system had not been thought of) so individual programs were loaded and run one at a time. The first computer I used (in 1973) had no operating system, programs punched on decks of cards were loaded and run one at a time. The first microcomputers sold did not have enough memory to load an operating system. When Bill Gates wrote the original version of Microsoft BASIC for the MITS Altair 8800 the standard 8800 came with only 256 bytes of RAM and Microsoft BASIC could not run with less than 4096 bytes of RAM (it was already very expensive to expand the RAM to that size), so Microsoft BASIC was written to run without an operating system. There are also embedded system computers that are dedicated to one purpose and usually run one preloaded program supplied by the manufacturer and do not allow other programs to be loaded. While some embedded system computers do use an operating system, it is also common for the preloaded program to be written to directly control all the hardware directly without the need for an operating system.

What is the use of a computer service?
A computer service is the leasing and or purchasing of computers. There are also computer services in operating systems like Windows. They are the services that work directly with the computer hardware.

Does application software such as Microsoft Excel manipulates the computer hardware directly?
Applications interact with the operating system. It is the operating system that works directly with the hardware.

How do you run the PC without operating system?
The operating system acts as a buffer between the computer's hardware and the applications it is running. To use a computer without an operating system you will need applications that communicate directly with the hardware - as was often the case in the days before powerful operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS became the norm- but to harness the full power that computers offer today a modern operating system is required.
Where can Dell Dimension specs be bought?
Dell Dimension 'specs' cannot be bought. Specs or specifications are simply the dimensions, memory and operating system of a computer. Dell Dimension computers can be bought directly from the Dell site.
Does Dell offer updates for their computers?
The computer and electronics company Dell does indeed offer updates for their computers. One of the ways to get update for a Dell computer is to contact Dell directly.
