The basic functions of an OS. What happens when you 'boot' up a computer?

Operating Systems Classification
Define and explain the characteristics of: Real Time, Interactive, Network, Device, Embedded, Server, Desktop.

Operating Systems Management
How an OS manages the hardware resources in order to provide for an orderly and controlled allocation of the hardware among the various processes competing for them.
