1.10 Operativsystem The operating system is one of the most important parts in the computer. It allows the computer’s hardware to communicate with the computer’s software. We need an operating system to operate other programs on the computer. The most common operating systems are windows, Linux and OS. The operating system is at the same time responsible for managing and also controlling all of the resources like the memory, hard drives and the computers monitor just to name a few examples. That are shared amongst the different application programs that may be running simultaneously. You usually say that the computer has 2 types of components. The hardware and software. The big difference between these 2 are that, you can touch and react with …show more content…
But what does this actually mean? These 2 different types OS refers to how the computer’s CPU handles all the information. As you can probably understand the bigger OS bit is the better version. They are better at handling the RAM amount then better than the 32-bit. But with all of the brands of operating systems, what one should you chose. In almost everylist of best OS in the market, Windows, linux and mac OS are almost always on top of the lists. Here are some pros and cons with each …show more content…
But if it’s too hot inside the computer it could damage the components. That is why todays modern systems need extreme cooling and ventilation capabilities so that lots of air can move through the unit and keeping the devices from overheating. This helps the components work properly with safe operating temperatures. Overheat in the computers CPU is one of the most common overheating problems in the world and it can lead to serious malfunction problems. There 2 types of cooling mechanism when it comes to the computer. These are liquid and fan cooling. Liquid cooling is used if the computer starts to generate too much heat, liquid cooling, also known as water cooling, and is a better solution. A lot of people are scared with having liquids near the components, but when cooling with water, the water will be securely secured in a container. At the same time it is a lot more efficient than cooling with air. How it works: The heat from inside the computer case moves to the liquid because it attracts to cold. Then when the cooler object gets warmer, will make the warmer objects get cooler. But how does the computer fan
Every time the container the substance is in is opened some of it will evaporate, causing the temperature of the liquid to change. As it evaporates, the temperature decreases.
If the coolant spends a small amount of time in the radiator, it loses less heat. If it spends a lot of time there, it loses far more heat.
Microsoft and Apple are two of the world’s main competitors in the computer industry. There has always been much debate over which system is better; Apple or Microsoft. This all depends on what the person is using the computer for. Both Microsoft and Apple can be used for personal, commercial or corporate use. It is a well-known fact that Microsoft is the most marketed operating system. Microsoft designs and sells its operating systems to other computer manufacturers. This makes Microsoft compatible with other hardware. Apple chose to not do this; Apple makes its operating system only compatible with its own computer hardware (Derene).
Windows based computers are cheaper, and more easily upgradeable than Macintosh systems. The reason for this being that Apple has exclusive rights to the hardware made specifically for their computers. Windows based system hardware is produced by literally thousands of manufacturers. This, of course, means competition, which in turn lowers prices. Macintosh systems are sold (primarily) as a whole system, meaning that the consumer ends up with what Apple has decided should be included in the system. Windows systems, however, can be built to the consumers needs, or by the consumer themselves. They could select which component would be best for them for the price they would pay for it. Most importantly, with a Windows based system consumers could select what components they wish to have based on what they might pay for them.
The similarities and the differences between Mac operating system (OS X) and Windows 10 operating system.
To sum up, we found that windows 7 is more famous than windows 8. That is shown by public opinion due to their experiences of using windows 7 and 8. The
Also, when we put the insulation cans in warn water the water heated up the can. And lastly, in the insulated can experiments, both cooling and heating, when the cans temperature was changed it in turn changed the air temperature
The choice on what operating system will depend on what your needs are personally, your interests in technology, and your needs professionally. If you're not an IT person, and you don't care about programming, or have much of a vested interest computers/software, etc yourself, you would want to stick to Windows. It's easy to use, has everything you need, and you'll likely find help fast if you have questions. Linux is more geared towards IT professionals, and/or those who have an interest, or need to use it.
Any program is only as good as it is useful- Linus Torvalds. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary an operating system is the main program in a computer that controls the way the computer works and makes it possible for other programs to function. Linus Torvalds in 1991 arranged the UNIX operating system to be used in the stead of ms-dos; Windows 95 was ran on top ms-dos. Windows and Linux are different operating systems built off different systems of code making security, stability, usability, and the communities comparatively different.
Unlike Windows, Linux is a capable of runnig on large variety of computer systems.One of them is Intel Based PCs.Most of the home users prefer Intel Based PCs.So they can run Linux on their computers(Windows can only run on Intel Based PCs).Digital Alpha systems are used by the huge companies.Linux has the capability of running on the Digital Alpha systems so it can reach the advanced users.Other computer system is Macintosh Power PC that is used by graphical designers,press companies and advertising companies, can be run with Linux. The others are Sun Sparc&Sun Ultra, Amiga, 3Com Palm Pilot which are rarely used. This capability of Linux provides a large user number and user kind that makes Linux more popular.(www.linux.org)
both release new operating systems, but their software and hardware make up some of the most
What do the majority of users need a computer for? Mainly word processing and the use of a database program. An NT user doesn’t have to go with Microsoft Office, but a lot of people do, costing a couple hundred dollars. Linux can run an Office Suite program that is very similar to Office for at least half the cost. Even a free version of WordPerfect 8 is available for Linux.
The major operating systems to choose from are Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh OS X and various distributions of Linux. For Linux, we will use RedHat/Fedora and Ubuntu as an example.
An Operating System (OS) is basically used to run a certain application. It is one of the most important parts of an application (Hill, 2012). An operating system gives a chance to a software or application in apprehending and handling the things perfectly and in an organized manner (Wierenga, 2000). The essence of OS is very important in the Mobile Phone Manufacturing. There is yet another important kind of Operating System with the name of Mobile Phone Operating System (MPOS), which also known as Mobile OS. It is basically an operating system which is used to operate a smart phone, tablet and others devices like personal digital assistant. MPOS has the option to use different facilities accordingly on the personal computers and other GPS based mobile navigations as well. Android and Apple's IOS Google are the leaders in the smart-phone era, because in the past five years, there has been a revolutionary change in the use of mobile phones. Apple's iPhone series created ripples in the market, but in 2007, Google Android was launched, which became an operating system challenge in the dominance of Apple iOS.
An operating system is the software that supports a computer’s most basic functions, such as scheduling the upcoming tasks, executing a myriad of applications, and controlling peripherals. It is the most important software that runs a computer. The operating system manages the computer’s memory and processes, it’s software and hardware. It translates between computer speak to layman’s terms for the user to understand what is going on. Without an operating system, a computer is just a paperweight.
