Operating Systems

 Operating system is the platform in which all other applications run. That’s the form one computer studies definition that I learn. They vary depending on what you want to install but mostly for common use, Microsoft is the most used OS. There is specification for every operating system that one wants to install. Here are some tips on the operating systems in case you want to install them.

There are variety depending on the developer for instance for Microsoft, we have Windows XP, Windows NT, 2000, VISTA, Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 and now the latest windows 10. For the Linux we have Ubuntu operating system and Linux such as Kali Linux, Ubuntu and Zorin just to name a few. Then we have the Apple devices Os; Mac. Os. These operating systems each have its advantage over the other but as for me I have been using the Microsoft products ever since mostly. I have experienced the Ubuntu and Linux.

Linux Operating systems are commonly used by the Cyber cafe business due to their ability to withstand viruses or rather are not infected. They are also easy to install and occupy less space. For developers, they offer an excellent platform for doing so since they are stable and multipurpose. Those interested in the coding and command prompt operations finds it even entertaining when using Linux. I love Linux by the fact that you can also run it in a flash or disk without installing it in the hard disk and perform any task you want to perform in your compute such as deleting a virus that has been dodging the antivirus. Also clean your computer. The graphics and appearance and also its User interface is quite complicated. That’s what makes it unpopular to many domestic users.

Windows on the other hand offers what is appealing to the eye. Its user friendly and they have continuously worked on that feature to make it the easiest to use and offer even more personalized access to the device. The earlier versions of Windows such and XP, Vista and others were quite low in design and even the graphics. However, this makes them lighter to install in a computer with low specifications such as RAM, processor speed and Hard Disk. If your hard disk ranges from 40 GB and your RAM is less than a 1 GB, then consider Windows Vista or XP your choice of Windows. What you should check however is a higher service pack sine there are 3. Try Service pack 3 of Windows.

Now to those whose laptops and desktops have higher memories and hard drive, and I mean more than 1 GB the you can consider installing Windows 7 or 8. Windows 7 for a long time has remained the best operating system and the most stable and also offering a platform for installation of third party application programs and they run successfully. It has over powered windows 8 and 8.1 due to that capability although 8 and 8.1 has had a better appearance and also interface. I must say that with the advent of windows 8 and 8.1, Microsoft seemed to be targeting touch screen PCs and tablets and not majorly the rest. This is due to its user interface that takes the whole screen in tiles form.

The most recent release of windows 10 has come as a blast! There is nothing like it. Its features and capabilities and even the ability to integrate windows 7 and 8 features together has made it even most unique. Many are afraid especially developers that it might turn out as the windows 8 did but I have tried it since the development stage and its stability is wow! With specification being 2 GB ram and let’s say 40 GB hard disk its very attractive and also entertaining. The personalization of your PC is even more enhanced. You haven’t tried it yet? Try it and you won’t regret.
