Description

An operating system (OS) acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware. The OS interprets all instructions keyed in by a user and converts them to a format that the computer can understand. Windows 98 is the most popular and widely used operating system in the world. This operating system provides a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) for using its various commands and features. One of the most important features of Windows 98 is its integration with the Internet Explorer 4.0 browser. A distinct enhancement to this integration is the introduction of an Active Desktop, which is a combination of the Classic Desktop with Internet Explorer 4.0.
