An operating system (OS for short) is essentially the way through which one has access to computer files, games, Internet, and all vital stored information. The operating system is the most important program in a computer because it runs other programs. Major operating systems are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix. The operating system is essential for the team, and so extreme care must be taken when choosing an operating system.
Consider its use
Consider which operating system is used for. If the OS is for a business, an operating system that can handle important business data should be selected. If the system OS is for a college student could be considered an operating system that is optimal for the game, and still has a nice word processor. Finally, if the operating system out for a new computer user, then a user-friendly, simple OS would be best. Knowing this, one must also consider what software is available for the operating system. Some software is only available on some computers. This often leaves Macintosh OS X, Linux and Unix in the dark because most part of the computer market runs on Microsoft operating systems. Most computers come standard with a specific operating system (Apple Mac computers OS X and most PCs have Windows XP). Therefore, it is sometimes important to consider the OS even when selecting a team.
Security
Security is top priority for many users, especially businesses. Some OS are safer than others. Mac has been called "the Iron Man operating systems "because of its ability to keep hackers out, while Windows has been criticized for being easy to hack. Do not be a complete stop security, however. Most operating systems can be "strong and constant security updates, made safer from hackers.
Pros and cons of the four major
Each operating system has its strengths and weaknesses. There is no perfect operating system. With this in mind, consider the most common operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Unix). Mac OS X is ideal for keeping out hackers and graphic design. Without But some problems are the fact that certain software is not available for Macs. If the operating system is for a college student who prefers to play Half-Life 2 study, then Mac OS X is not the best option. Windows is very good for compatibility, since most consumers use Windows. Windows comes with applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, Windows is vulnerable to viruses and can get stuck easily. Unix is good for the networks especially if for businesses. Unix has been around for almost 30 years, so it is quite reliable. One drawback of Unix is the cost, which can sometimes be a bit expensive. Unix is also complicated, which can confuse beginners. The latest operating system, Linux is free and completely customizable. However, a major drawback is the extreme shortage applications for Linux. Microsoft and other software developers are often very reluctant to release their products to Linux.
Conclusion
Whatever operating system is chosen, it must be the system that best suits the needs of the consumer. All operating systems have good and bad elements. Understanding how each system, and the pros and cons of the system is a must for anyone deciding on a computer and operating system. An OS selection based on research and understanding undoubtedly give the greatest satisfaction.
