It is used by the ENCOM corporation for running its internal corporate computer network. The Master Control Program is designed to be more then an OS: It is seposed to be the core program, with all the other software pieces being nothing but "Add ons" to the MCP itself. The MCP is also designed to take over "independed" programs, since "independed execution" is not a "good thing".
Oh, and the most important: Its purely fictional. :) Its all from the movie TRON ( http://us.imdb.com/Title?0084827 ), which was what I believe the very first "cyber punk" movie with CyberSpace as the main scenery of the movie. In the story, the megalomeniac MCP has its own agenda, and the only one who can stop him is an ex-programmer who got unwillingly abducted into Cyberspace due to reason that I shall leave for you to find out. Not alot of logic, but it got some in-jokes and references that CRT-heads like us can understand. Just ignore the lack of logic and enjoy the ride. :) Oh, and btw - there's a TRON 2 in the making. With modern FX technology... -that- should be a real Eye Candy Factory. 8)
