Operating Systems Are The Core Of A Computer

Windows 7 is an operating system that is of the Microsoft Windows family. Windows 7 is part of one of the most used operating systems around the world. It is the successor to Windows XP and Windows Vista. Alongside Windows 7 are two other operating systems that are viewed as alternatives to the Windows OS. Those alternatives include Linux operating systems as well as Windows Server 2008.

Identifying and describing key features of operating systems and common application software as they relate to the management of information.

Depending on your personal preference and need, there are a variety of operating systems available to users today. Whether it’s MAC OS, UNIX, Windows, etc they each have their own aspects and appeal that draw users in. The spotlight however, for the duration of this paper will be placed on a derivative of the UNIX family of operating system, Linux. The topics covered will include the history to include a handful of versions (distributions).

When considering which operating system for a home or business office computer or network of computers, it is important to evaluate all areas of the different operating systems options. When evaluating Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and Linux operating systems it is important to consider the system requirements, the different editions available, security features, system features, updates and support, user interface, and cost effectiveness. Depending on what a person’s or organization’s needs are will determine which operating system is best fit.

Many thousands of people contributed to the GNU/Linux Operating System using the Internet. This project is unique because such a project, using free software, had never been attempted before.

Linux has a rich history of collaborations between different organizations and input from users worldwide. This has led to a world class piece of open source software that has proven itself to have both the reliability and security to provide the peace of mind for users and corporations worldwide to use for day to day operations and

I propose that our company consider implementing Linux for our servers and workstations. There are many excellent reasons to employ Linux as the operating system of choice for our company: Linux is ‘tried and true’; is used by many large companies, such as Google©, Amazon©, Facebook©, and many of the cloud service providers; is less expensive; more reliable and stable; has extensive free community support; uses memory and CPU resources more efficiently; is reasonably easy and quick to install; and is much less vulnerable to viruses and malware than the Microsoft Windows© operating system. Linux can be used on almost any type or brand of computer or server, including older models. I will demonstrate that Linux is a viable and less expensive alternative to Windows and will perform well in our server and workstation environments.

This paper analyzes and compares the differences between the Windows and Linux’s operating system in an enterprise. It emphasizes the features in these two operating system such as history, cost, security, user-friendliness, performance, and future trends. It shows how impactful these features can be when an enterprise chooses an operating system. The research in this paper highlights the pros and cons of an enterprise using one operating system or the other. It directs the readers to have a better understanding on which operating system is better for specific instances. Readers will have an enhance perception on Windows and Linux and the platforms they serve. In our paper we try to fully analyze Windows and Linux’s operating system, so an enterprise can choose the best operating system for themselves.

Linux is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds [1]. It is an operating system which is powerful, free and inexpensive to own based on UNIX [1]. It is a POSIX-compliant with versions available to install in cell phones, supercomputers and most computing systems [1]. Linux is an open source program as its source code is available to the general public for use and the right to modify from its original design without any charges [1]. New code will be added to the next version made available with Linux if it is accepted as a universal improvement [1]. The code will continue to exist and developed by the user even if the company fails [1]. Moreover, updates for Linux are available every six months [1]. Nowadays, Linux is in constant development by

First, Microsoft Windows. Microsoft began its dominance in the early 80s by developing DOS also known as disk operating system. This is the first operating system made for a PC. Then came Windows 9X which was later called Windows 95. Then it

There are dozens of operating systems out in the wild, each designed and optimized for different things. This paper will be focusing on one such optimized operating system named Raspbian. This operating system is a derivation of the more well-known operating system Debian. More precisely, Raspbian is a modified and optimized port of Debian’s Jessie build. As this paper goes on, readers will discover that since Raspbian is a direct descendent of Debian Jessie, it inherits most of Debian’s traits.

Operating systems (OS) communicate with and work directly with many devices, including the monitor, keyboard, disk drivers, mouse, network adaptor, speakers, and so on, also known as peripherals. Some OS’s exchange information with specific hardware (chips) inside the computer that controls these devices.

The computer operating system is one of the biggest changes we are seeing in today’s world. With the rise of the cloud, digital software delivery and applications, the computer operating system is playing catch up to these new trends. The center of the computer as always been the operating system and the Graphical User Interface that comes with it. Computer operating systems have come from a past of no User interface and being a command line base to the modern day Windows 8 and Mac OS’s of application based. If operating systems focus on Applications, cloud and digital downloads for software, this approach will take the computer operating systems into the next twenty years of computing. Computer Operating systems used to the center of a Vendors development. In the modern era, mobile Operating systems have become the focal point with computer operating systems taking the back seat. The computer operating system must match the experience and eco system of the mobile devices. Focusing on the Graphical user interface will help create that experience, from the application tile to the scrolling and how a user handles features will be key on developing the computer operating system of the future.
