Answer:
An operating system (OS), in its most general sense, is software that allows a user to run other applications on a computing device. ... The operating system manages a computer's hardware resources, including: Input devices such as a keyboard and mouse. Output devices such as display monitors, printers and scanners.
General purpose software is that which is the same whenever it is sold. ... Custom software is that which is unique whenever it is sold. Software written by users to use themselves is custom (or 'bespoke') too, although it could be developed into general purpose software to be sold to others.
Hope it's helps.
