1. OPERATING SYSTEMS are those who contains and manages all the programs and applications that runs in a computer or mobile devices. It also manages the device's softwares and hardware functions.

One of the few things that an OS is responsible for is Memory Management which controls and coordinates the computer's applications while at the same time allocating space for the programs. Another one is Disk Management It is the one responsible for managing all the drives installed in the computer.

2. USER INTERFACE is also referred to as the UI, this is the part of the OS which allows the user to enter and receive information. This can be done with codes, type commands and other formats.

One of the UI types were the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI).

3. PLUG AND PLAY DEVICE differs from the INSTALLED DEVICE DRIVERS in the means of how are they used. Ofcourse when we say 'Plug and Play' it is expected to be used way more easier and faster than the installed one since it doesn't require any more driver to be installed. It was already installed when the device connects to a computer. On the other hand 'Installed Device Drivers' requires a port in which you will be inserting the disk of your driver or even download it from the website where your desired driver is located. Unlike the plug and play this needs more work to be done.

4. FORTINET and AMAZON WEB SERVICES (AWS)

These are some of the security tools that are designed to protect software applications or your computer in general from external threats througout the entire application interface. Because some softwares may contain certain vulnerabilities that were needed to be fixed immediately before creating more problems.

5. OPERATING SYSTEMS difference from APPLICATION SOFTWARES because OS are the system softwares who works as the interface between the user and the hardware. While APPLICATION SOFTWARES are the programs that performs the specific tasks on the computer. Softwares asssists all the tasks of the system.
