Operating system also provides a software platform on top to other programs, they are called application programs (Application program: is the software that helps the users to make typical functions, like making text, others…).

Operating systems can be classified as follows:
Multi-user: is the one that concede two or more users to use their programs at the same time. Some of O.S permits hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously.
Single-User: just allows one user to use the programs at one time.
Multiprocessor: Supports opening the same program more than just in one CPU.
Multitasking: Allows multiple programs running at the same time.
Single-tasking: Allows different parts of a single program running at any one time.
