3. What is an OS ?
• For a computer, an operating system is the most
essential part that processes on a computer. It
deals with the computer’s memory, tasks and
processes, as well as all of its software and
hardware components.
• It allows communication as well, between the
computer and you.
• An operating system is fundamental for the well
operation of a computer, thus making a
computer useless if the later do not possess an
OS (Operating System).
4. • Most of the time, there are numerous
dissimilar computer programs running at
the same time, and they all need to access
your computer's central processing unit
(CPU), memory, and storage.
• The operating system organizes all of this
to make sure each program gets what it
needs.

6. Types of an Existing OS:
• Operating systems habitually come pre-
installed on any computer you purchase.
• Most people use the operating system that
comes with their computer, but it's
possible to upgrade or even change
operating systems.
• The three most common operating
systems for personal computers are
Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
7. • Present operating systems use a graphical user
interface (GUI). A GUI allows you to use your mouse
to click icons, buttons, and menus, and everything is
clearly displayed on the screen using a mixture of
graphics and text.
• Each operating system's GUI has a different look
and feel, so if you shift to a different operating
system it may seem unaccustomed at first.
• Still, modern operating systems are designed to be
easy to use, and most of the basic principles are the
same.

9. Windows OS
Microsoft produced the Windows operating system in the
mid-1980s.
Over the years, there have been many miscellaneous
versions of Windows, but the most current ones are
Windows 10 (released in 2015), Windows 8 (2012),
Windows 7 (2009), and Windows Vista (2007).
Windows comes installed on most new PCs, which
comforts to make it the most popular operating system in
the world.
Microsoft became famous with the announcement of MS DOS, a text-based
command line-driven operating system.
DOS was generally based on a purchased intelligent property, QDOS.
GUI-based operating systems of that time included Xerox's Alto, released in
1979, and Apple’s LISA and Macintosh systems, which came later.
Microsoft’s die-hard fans referred to such systems as WIMPs, which stood for
“windows, icons, mouse and pull-down menus (or pointers).”
10. Mac OS :
Mac OS is a line of operating systems created by Apple.
It comes preinstalled on all new Macintosh computers,
or Macs.
All of the recent versions are known as OS X , and the
specific versions include El Capitan (2015), Yosemite
(2014), Mavericks (2013), Mountain Lion (2012), and
Lion (2011).
Mac OS is branded by its monolithic system.
Mac OS X users account for less than 10% of global
operating systems—much lower than the percentage of
Windows users (more than 80%).
One reason for this is that Apple computers and
products tend to be more expensive.
Though, many people do prefer the look and feel of Mac
OS X over Windows, for it has a more aesthetic UX and a
“classy” appearance, thanks to a good marketing
approach.

11. Linux
Linux created by Linus Torvalds in 1991
,is a family of open-source operating
systems, which means they can be
changed and distributed by anyone
around the world.
This is different from branded software
like Windows, which can only be
modified by the company that owns it.
The benefits of Linux are that it is free, and there are many different “flavors”
you can choose from.
According to Stat-Counter Global Stats, Linux users account for less than 2%
of global operating systems. However, most servers run Linux because it's
relatively easy to customize.
Linux was one of the first open-source technologies, but many programmers
have contributed and added software that’s completely open-source for any
user. This means that you can download the source code and change it any way
you like.
12. Continue…
Some developers have limitations on how you can distribute the code.
For instance, some developers allow you to change the code, but you cannot
distribute it for money. Examples of Linux distributions / flavors are Ubuntu,
Kali, Debian, etc.

13. Operating Systems for Mobile Phones:
iOS
Android
Windows
BlackBerry
Mobile phones, like desktops and laptops, do have an OS . Mobile devices
such as phones, tablet computers, and MP3 players are dissimilar from desktop
and laptop computers, so they run operating systems that are designed
precisely for mobile devices.
Illustrations of mobile operating systems include Apple iOS and Google
Android.
Operating systems for mobile devices usually are not as fully featured and
boosted as those for computers, and also cannot run all of the same software.
14. Operating systems in the nowadays
In a computing device, the OS is the software
that helps the device to sustain the applications
that run on it.
Some of the most common operating systems are
Windows, OSX, IOS, Linux/ Unix, ChromeOS
and Android .
Some of these operating systems, like Windows,
Linux, and OSX, run principally on traditional
computers, while others run on phones and
tablets.
15. Continue…
All operating systems control memory, communications,
disk usage, power consumption, audio and video,
communication with peripherals , input devices, and the
behavior of simultaneously running applications.
The operating system is important since it creates a
pleasant and productive user experience for the user, so
much so that users often select their computing devices
based on the operating system they run.
Nowadays, technology giants have adopted noticeably
altered strategies in developing their product lines and
services, and their tactics have changed over time.
16. Continue…
Save for a few attempts to get into the hardware market,
Microsoft has principally focused on making its Windows
operating system the main one for personal computers.
They have tried, with very limited triumph, to extend
windows to smart phones, and they have seen some
hopeful but muted success in switching Windows to a
touch-based interface that runs well on smooth hardware
such as its Surface Pro 3 tablet.
Apple wants you to buy its devices, and its future rest on
consumers doing just that.
They limit their operating systems to run on their
devices, because they make lots of money on their
hardware.
17. Continue..
OSX will run only on an Apple-made Mac; iOS will run
only on an Apple-made iPad or iPhone.
There are no other device producers who can run an
Apple-made operating system.
This is by design. Apple’s essence is its hardware, and
they are not about to give anyone an aim to buy someone
else’s devices by providing its operating systems on other
platforms.
18. Operating systems in the future
Operating systems in the future won't talk about files,
folders, desktops, networks, web servers, emails and so
on , but they will talk about resources, businesses,
administrations, persons and will be well-organized in
managing their joint, and active, relationships.
Your operating system will let you connect information
sources to your space in the cloud, sources which might
be offered by your bank, you employer(s), your friends,
your family or any of their information systems.
In the operating system of the future, you will follow
organizations, persons or systems, getting access to
whatever resource or events they're eager to offer you.
19. Continue…
The future operating system won't be simply social, it
will be a computing relationship where everything of
interest to you is made accessible, maybe even pre-
processed in the cloud to decrease noise and bring better
info.
When talking about future operating systems, I can't see
why we would continue to develop applications.
They're an ancient concept, offline relics from a world
where we were required to bundle things up to allocate;
they're from a world where they were the only way to
augment your computing skill.
20. Continue…
Applications won't be of much use in a world where
computing trashes may be found and assembled for a
specific context.
The operating system of tomorrow will let users collect
their own "applications" based on what they want to do
"right now". Sorry for all App Store fans, but content is
the future, not the containing application!
