Apple itself is not an operating system, it is a company; this edit is for clarification
An '''operating system''' is a set of basic software that allows [[computer]]s to perform basic tasks for people. It is responsible for displaying the graphics on screen and outputting sound to the speakers, controlling input from the mouse and keyboard, allowing [[hardware]] to work properly, interfacing with other computers on a [[network]], and storing and retrieving data. The most common operating systems today are [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[OS X]], and [[Linux]]/[[BSD]].
