Today, most modern operating systems contain Graphical User
Interfaces (GUIs). A few of the older ones tightly integrated the GUI
to the kernel – one of the central components of the operating system. More modern operating systems are modular separating the graphics subsystem from the kernel.
A GUI is basically the pictures you see on the screen that help you navigate your computer. They include the icons and the menus. Many operating systems allow the user to install or create any user interface they desire.
Graphical user interfaces tend to change and evolve over time. For example, Windows has modified its user interface almost every time a new version of Windows is released. The Mac OS GUI changed dramatically with the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001.
