Comparison between MAC OS and Windows OS
There are many things we can differ between Mac OS and Windows OS, especially in term of how it works and runs and also what other things that one had and for other don’t have. Some information of Mac OS and Windows OS is shown as below.
MAC OS.
MAC is short form from the word of Macintosh and refer to any computer produced by the Apple Inc. It is commercial. MAC OS is a series of graphical user interface-based operating system developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh line of computer system. It is also proprietary software with an open source components. For its kernel type is hybrid (XNU). The base of Mac OS is UNIX so that it is more powerful, and powerful here means that it is safe and secure from viruses and some say that once every decade it is been effected. Recently Mac had just released its latest version that is OS X 10.9 maverick. BIOS does not need for Mac to install it and it has no registry to foul up.
WINDOWS OS
Microsoft Windows is proprietary commercial software. Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical interface operating system developed, marketed and sold by Microsoft. It has both sources either closed source or shared source. It is kernel type Hybrid (Windows NT family), DOS (16-bit Windows and Windows 9x/ME series). The base of Windows is DOS and less secure and it stated that once a minute on almost thousand computers that effected. As for Windows it need BIOS to install it and it latest released is Windows 8.1. For every version released by Microsoft is related by Mac edition.

Example of MAC OS platform and Windows OS :
By 1993 Microsoft's windows computer programming function became the most widely used operating system in the world. When Microsoft was still an idea, Bill Gates led Apple to believe he would help them succeed in creating the best computer programming systems in the nation, however, Gates left it unknown to Apple he planned to release his own software. Gates took notes and allowed Apple to release the software he helped them to create. Then shortly after, Microsoft introduced windows. Apple claimed Gates had stolen their ideas, as windows looked surprisingly similar to Apple's version. Gates claimed he used his own ideas because it was his own that made Apple's renowned software. As Microsoft was leading in the world, Apple threatened Microsofts position in the world of technological advances by introducing a new software program that could potentially take Microsoft's top spot in the market away from them. Gates quickly said that he had created a new software that was set to release also, although he had no idea of new software at the time and made the excuse to possibly buy himself a bit of time. About eight months later, Microsoft released the new software program, as bill gates had proclaimed, retaining the top spot in the market. Microsoft's expansion today has reached every technological realm possible. Occluded in the newest developments are
Microsoft is an American company that was founded by William Henry Gates III, as known as Bill Gates, and his his high school friend Paul Gardner Allen in 1975 April 4. But unluckily, Paul Allen resigned from Microsoft in 1983 after developing Hodgkin’s disease. In 1985 October 20, Microsoft released Microsoft window. It is the first original operating system. It is a graphical extension for MS-DOS. Even though, it’s not handy like nowadays Microsoft window. Then in 1990, Microsoft introduced Microsoft office, which is a bundle office productivity application with Microsoft Word and Microsoft excel. The Microsoft Word was the first application that could display italics. And the Microsoft Office would be available for free for all the PC World’s computer that is produce on that same year in November. In the 2000 February 17, Microsoft released Window 2000 operating system, and according to Microsoft it is the most safe operating system in the world at that time. But still, there are so many problems and glitches need to be fixed. Besides there are mutable computer viruses are made specially to attack Window 2000. Rush to gain back the sales. In the 2001 October 25 Window xp is available. The new operating system fix most of the problem. Although some of the user were still complaining the system that it will take your information, but in the 2007 January, there are 76% of people in the entire world are using the operating system.
The Macintosh abbreviated as Mac, is the line of personal computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. In the beginning was an economic and domestic alternative to Lisa, an advanced business microcomputer, whose line of development was absorbed by the Macintosh line. The Mac ended up becoming the standard line of development of Apple computers, with the disappearance of the evolutionary line of the Apple II. The Macintosh 128K, named for its 128 KiB of RAM, was launched on January 24, 1984. It was the first personal computer to be marketed successfully that used a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse instead of the command line. Its technical characteristics revolutionized the computer industry in the mid-1980s, maintaining its evolutionary line of development to this day. The range of Mac products currently varies from
All might think that a PC is awesome, but is not called Windows for nothing. When they say Windows they mean Windows. Macintosh has been known for it’s simplicity. Windows users say Mac has no games. I say to them there are games, but if you want to “play games” get a game system. Macs give a new vision in the computer industry.
For those of you that still stuck in windoze land, have no fear; Mac OSX is here. As a 6-year user of Bill Gate's Windows, making the move to the Mac's creative user-interface was easy. I've been using Mac's throughout my whole life, but only come to enjoy it since OSX was released. OSX is jam-packed with matrix like features, the best pre-bundled software, and boyish good looks.
This paper discusses about the historical event that takes place within the operating system and their recent development and progression. Therefore it is essential to have a clear comprehension on the operating system that is still accessible to recognize its fundamental strengths and weaknesses. Hence, it is imperative to evaluate the operating system we are reviewing to distinguish between them. Meanwhile, this paper also inspects on the difference between the open source and proprietary operating system. The discussion is mainly about the feature and application used in different operating system.
limits the network access, in other words, it recognizes the internet accessibility level of the user. In addition, when a virus attacks the computer it directly downloads or deletes the appropriate information. On the other hand, Windows 10 has a different strategy to secure its system by isolating the applications that run on devices in a hardware-based virtual environment. Although, Windows security system has developed dramatically over time, Mac OS X is still less vulnerable to viruses and other malware.
Product Line Netscape Navigator is a software program to browse information available on the Internet. It is available for all common computer system platforms, including 16-bit PC, 32-bit PC, Macintosh, and all UNIX systems. Navigator also allows people to check their e-mail on the Internet through use of a password (MIME) encoding scheme. Netscape Server is a piece of software that installs on UNIX and Windows NT based systems that allows serving of data on the Internet's World Wide Web.
Microsoft’s mission of placing a “PC running Microsoft software on every desk and in every home” drove their overall strategy early on. Depending on the business segment within Microsoft, one would see in place very different business models as the strategy for each line of business could vary. In the operating system (OS) segment, Microsoft initially brought in an existing product and modified this (MS-DOS) to work with the Intel microprocessor, which were the “brains” of the IBM PC. Microsoft partnered with IBM to provide the operating system for the IBM PC. In addition to developing Windows, Microsoft during this period was working to write applications for the Apple OS.
Internet Explorer, Chrome, Netscape, and Safari, these are a few examples of some of the web browsers that are used throughout the world. These web browsers have become even more common as the years have gone by. People use them in their everyday life to accomplish tasks that they need to get done. The beginning of this profitable and popular invention all started back in 1990.
Microsoft was originally created in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. They first introduced their software package, Window 1.0 in 1983, the first package to consist of a mouse which helps navigate a PC. MS-DOS commands were previously used to operate computer systems, however people found these extremely hard to understand. This Windows 1.0 package was a key turning point in Microsoft emergence. As time progressed Microsoft created updated versions which consisted of advanced graphics, built-in internet support, dial-up networking and much more (Microsoft, 2011). Windows packages started from Window 1.0 to the current version whic...
Microsoft, from its inception, has been known for its software, especially its Windows platform. It has changed the way we operate computers and through its software, has made the computer user-friendly and very efficient. Microsoft, however, does not want to only specialize in the software department. They have thus expanded their excellence in other departments such as gaming, music and hardware.
However it seems like many designers and artist still use Macs either out of habit or because stereotypically it is seen as an artist’s “tool”. Windows on the other hand is equally compatible and at times multitasks a lot better than Mac, which is a must for someone like a graphic designer. As mentioned previously Windows is the gamer’s choice. Although you will find more and more popular games being offered for OS X you won’t get the cutting edge graphics and gaming experience you can get from Windows. They both have their own differences, Macs are not as flexible or versatile like the PC but it is rather a more straightforward approach with fewer maintenance and fewer security issues. Windows as mentioned above is flexible and customizable either with hardware or software. We also have the gaming experience where users prefer windows again for its customization and flexibility (Mac vs. Windows: Your Best
When you log onto the Internet using Netscape, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or some other browser, you are viewing documents on the World Wide Web. The current foundation on which the WWW functions is the programming language called HTML. It is HTML and other programming embedded within HTML that make possible Hypertext.
If you want an easy-to-use system that keeps most things basic for you, check out Mac. If you like a little bit more control of your computer you’ll probably have to go for a Windows. If you’re comfortable with an operating system that will run all your applications and programs, stay with it. Though it’s worth noting that not all software is available for every operating system; so, if you absolutely need Final Cut for that feature film you’re shooting on the weekend, don’t buy a Windows computer expecting it to run the Mac
