AnswerAssuming you're like the 99% who are using PCs or MACs: An operating system resides on your local computer and it's function is to allow the software to work with the hardware on that machine. A network operating system allows multiple computers to connect to each other, controlling the sharing of devices, files or programs. This resides on a shared computer called a "server".
A timesharing operating system is one that divides up CPU time into equal slices that can be shared among applications. In the case of a multi-user system, these time slices are shared among users.
A mobile operating system is an operating system (the most basic instructions to allow a device to load software and control hardware) specifically for mobile devices.
In centralised tasks are done by one system and in distributed tasks are shared by the many computers
Devices that record precise results require a real-time operating system. This is the same kind of operating system needed for a device hat performs regimented tasks.
Not all devices are completely "plug and play" on all operating systems. For those devices that your computer's operating system does not automatically recognize it will be necessary to install the driver software for the device. Unfortunately driver software for some devices is not available on every operating system.
