A computer was born at the intersection of science and human intelligence. The computer is the greatest invention in the history of human civilization. With the advent of the computer, how to use a computer is a problem, the first way is using DOS to send instructions to the computer. Then, in order to use computer more efficiently, people created the computer operating system. By visualizing an icon, a clean and simple operating environment can be used to operate computers more efficiently and perform more complex tasks. The operating system also has different kinds of functions. The paper is to analyze the different kinds of operating systems. Current notebook platforms are Windows, Mac OS, Linux. Microsoft Windows 1.0 was introduced in 1985, Mac OS 7.6 was officially named in 1997, and Linux was introduced in 1991.
Analysis
Windows
For Windows operating system, the latest system is Windows 10, and most brands of computers preinstall this system. Windows 10 is a personal computer system developed and released by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating system. The following is

Most of the application in Chrome OS will be completed in the Web. Rapid, simple and safety is the focus of the Chrome OS features, so Chrome OS users do not have to worry about viruses, malware, trojans, security update and so many annoying things. Google Chrome OS will also provide support for Intel x86 and ARM processors, and the software structure is very simple that can be understood to run a Chrome browser that uses a new window system on the Linux kernel. Fast, simple and safety is the three major characteristics of the operating system. It will be designed to be the fastest and most thin body of the operating system, it only takes a few seconds to start up and make connection with the
Yes. This would be an adequate solution for what Mr. Ortiz would need. Mr. Ortiz wants to use Web-Based applications, Which will be built in a website requiring an active internet connection. Mr Ortiz doesn’t need much hard drive space, or a good processor. Scenario 2-1
1. Describe the functions of the kernel, service, and command layers of an OS. The kernel basically acts as the interface between hardware and applications. The kernel is also known as the engine or core of an OS, the outermost part of an operating system that interacts with user commands. Some of the kernel’s tasks are resource allocation, process management, memory management, input/output device management, and security management.
I have been asked to use Ubuntu? One comparison between windows and linux is that Linux is a lot freer than windows because windows are restricted. Another comparison is windows are a lot safer because if something breaks you get paid support whereas on Linux you do not have any support. My experience with Linux is not much as I am entirely a windows user.
Task1 (3) - comparison of three operating system Components Window 7 Window 8 Ubunutu 12.04 Security It has better firewall. It also support bit locker drive encryption, which encrypt window hard disk to keep documents and passwords as well. Also help to protect desktop against viruses and other malware with Microsoft security essential. It also supports parent’s control which is also an essential part.
There are many operating systems but I am not listing all of them. One operating system is Windows, made by Microsoft. Another operating system is Mac, made by Apple. And one operating system you most likely don 't know is Linux, Linux is an open source operating system and it is the fastest, tho you probably don 't and will never use it. An open-source operating system is an operating system that you can edit like Windows is not an open source operating system so you can’t edit it, but in Linux, you can edit its operating system.
Browsers allow you to search for and view various kinds of information on the Web, such as web sites, video, audio, etc. These web browsers usually have generic features such: • Navigation buttons • Refresh
P2 Explain the purpose of operating systems Without an operating system the computer cannot function. An operating system is described as the system software that represents the essential layer between the BIOS and the applications software such as word processor, presentation, database etc. Operating system manages use of the system’s hardware and software such as time sharing and multi-tasking. It provides a consistent way for applications to interact with the hardware and for users to interact with the software and hardware. Operating system is important because it allows the computer to serve a variety of tasks instead of just one.
The introduction of personal computers in the 1980s and 1990s revolutionized the way that people worked and communicated, allowing for greater efficiency and productivity. The widespread adoption of personal computers during this time period led to the creation of new industries such as software development and computer
On the other hand, Microsoft does not offer different
Microsoft office is a computer program that offers features like word excel access and PowerPoint. 10. Word is where users can create documents such as reports and letters. PowerPoint is where users can create presentations that can be shared with other computers. Excel is an organized spreadsheet were users can organize data calculate and graph data.
The research methods were divided into four tasks which focused on student opinions on the “Windows vs. Apple” debate, and how universities could close the gap on those needs in an affordable manner. The survey which can be found in the Appendix along with sources which studied the changes made at Bemidji and Wilkes were used as the primary sources, while sources comparing the two platforms and the opinions of students across the country were used as the secondary sources. Task 1: Understand which platform students prefer between Apple and Windows and how large the disparity is. Determining the students’ preferences was imperative in order to establish any further case for reviewing the current computing situation. This was done by completing
11. What is Linux, what makes it different from proprietary software such as Microsoft and what is the advantage of Linux? Linux is a family of open-source operating systems. It is different from proprietary software like Windows because it can be modified and distributed by anyone around the world instead of just by the company that owns it.
Kernel Structure (Windows) What is a kernel? Basically kernel is a computer program which manages input and output requests from the S/W, and then translates them into data processing instructions for the central process unit (CPU) and other electronic components of a PC. Application Kernel CPU Memory Devices Actually the kernel is the heart of an operating system. The task of this software is to run the programs and provide secure access to the computer’s hardware.
As we explained,system is the embedded system. So it is obvious that it is divided in two parts where one is the user and on the
Microsoft edge is the new default browser that replaces internet explorer. In edge webpages can be annotated/ doodled on and sent to a friend in note taking mode, pages can be stripped back to basics with images and adverts removed for easier reading in reading mode, and it also has Cortana integration. The Xbox app can be used to stream Xbox one games to any Windows 10 PC or tablet, with improved speed and graphics performance through DirectX 12 support. It can also record, edit and share gameplay, and access Xbox
