An object-oriented operating system is an operating system that uses object-oriented design principles. An object-oriented operating system is in contrast to an object-oriented user interface or programming framework, which can be run atop a non-object-oriented operating system like DOS or Unix. Object-orientation has been defined as objects + inheritance, and inheritance is only one approach to the more general problem of delegation that occurs in every operating system. Object-orientation has been more widely used in the user interfaces of operating systems than in their kernels.
