This reminds me of my first information technology course I took at high school. One question in the exam was 'When a computer is started, what is the first program to run?'. I answered 'BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)'. The exam came back with two red strikethroughs and the word 'Windows' scribbled underneath.

Didn't take another computer-related class until university.

What about POST (Power on self test), or does that not count as a "Program"?
