Operating Systems Hide Ugly Hardware
Ugly interface Application programs Beautiful interface Operating system Ugly interface Hardware Figure 1-2. Operating systems turn ugly hardware into beautiful abstractions
A layered diagram shows application programs above an operating system and hardware below.

The joke is that operating systems hide the complexity and awkwardness of hardware behind elegant abstractions.
