I was going to give a short helpful explanation of the differences of firmware and operating systems but now, after 30 minutes typing, I've decided all I'd be doing would be muddying the waters. Let's just say that firmware is a program to control a device and, once loaded, will stay there until it's physically replaced by something else. Operating systems are bigger, more generic and are loaded afresh each time you start your computer.
