Analog Computer
are designed to process analog data.
Analog data is continuous data that
changes continuously and cannot have
discrete values.
invented in the 1930s by Vannevar
Bush (1890–1974), a Massachusetts
Institute of Technology electrical
engineer
first used at the time of the 1950s–1960s
Digital computer
designed to perform calculations and
logical operations at high speed. It
accepts the raw data as input in the
form of digits or binary numbers (0 and
1) and processes it with programs
stored in its memory to produce the
output.
It was generally believed that the first
electronic digital computers were the
Colossus, built in England in 1943, and
the ENIAC, built in the United States in
1945.
Hybrid Computer
features of both analogue and digital
computer. It is fast like an analogue
computer and has memory and
accuracy like digital computers. It can
process both continuous and discrete
data. It accepts analogue signals and
convert them into digital form before
processing.
The first desktop hybrid computing
system was the Hycomp 250, released
by Packard Bell in 1961.

Operating system
An operating system or OS is
software installed on a computer's
hard drive that enables the computer
hardware to communicate and
operate with the computer software.
Without a computer operating
system, a computer and software
programs would be useless.
Character User Interface or
Command-Line User Interface, CUI
When computers were first introduced, the
users interacted with them using a command line
interface. Short for character user interface or
command-line user interface, CUI is a way for
users to interact with computer programs. It works
by allowing the user (client) to issue commands as
one or more lines of text to a program
Graphical User Interface, or GUI
Modern operating systems use a graphical user
interface, or GUI (pronounced gooey). It lets you use
your mouse to click icons, buttons, and menus, and
everything is clearly displayed on the screen using
a combination of graphics and text.

also called Windows and Windows OS, computer
operating system was developed by Microsoft
Corporation to run personal computers. Microsoft
was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4,
1975

DOS or Disk Operating System was the first
operating system used by IBM-compatible
computers. It was originally available in two
versions that were essentially the same, but
marketed under two different names.
PC-DOS was the version developed by IBM and sold
to the first IBMcompatible manufacturers
throughout 1980s. MS-DOS was the version that
Microsoft bought the rights to, and was bundled
with the first versions of Windows.
Windows 1.0
was introduced in November 20, 1985. It was initially
sold for $100. The use of Windows 1.0 as a GUI meant
that MS-DOS users didn’t have to manually enter text
commands just to complete basic tasks. Now, they
could carry out tasks and browse their own files by
just pointing and clicking on icons and menus.
Windows 2.0.
the technology company released just two years
later, in 1987. This version of Windows included such
notable features as overlapping windows, resizable
windows, keyboard shortcuts, and support for VGA
graphics. The first Windows versions of Word and
Excel also made their debut with Windows 2.0.
Windows 3.0.
came out in 1990 and offered 256 color support. It
features multitasking DOS programs which may
have contributed to Windows’ flow in popularity.
Another notable feature of Windows 3.0 is that it’s
the version that saw the first appearance of the
classic desktop game Solitaire.
Windows 3.1
In 1992, Windows 3.1 delivered quite a
few new and essential features, such as
support for TrueType fonts, the ability to
drag and drop icons,
Windows 95
came out in 1995. It was the first 32-bit version of
Windows (previous versions had been 16- bit) new
features include the taskbar, the Start menu, long
file names, and plug-and-play capabilities in
which peripheral devices only needed to be
connected to a PC in order to work properly.
Windows 95 also saw the introduction of
Microsoft’s web browser, Internet Explorer
Windows 98
came out in 1998. It offers support for a number of
new technologies. It’s most visible feature is the
web browser’s and other internet-based programs
and tools, such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Chat.
Windows 2000
had a real focus on accessibility and introduced several
features to the OS, including Sticky Keys, a high-contrast
theme, Microsoft Magnifier, an on-screen keyboard, and a
screen reader known as Microsoft Narrator. It allows users
to choose the language in which their display would be
viewed. The users could choose from a variety of
languages, including Arabic, Japanese, and Greek.
Windows ME
stands for ―Millennium Edition. Some of its useful tool
includes System Restore, a recovery feature that, in the
event your computer starts having problems due to a
poorly executed installation of a program or update,
updates can be remove and restore your computer
back to how it was before .
Windows XP
was released in 2001 and is widely considered to be
great among the versions of Windows that Microsoft
had to offer. There were two main versions of the OS.
Home was for personal use, and Professional was
geared toward being used in work settings. Some
features include plug and play and utilization of the
802.11x wireless security standard networks for
connecting wireless LANS.
VISTA
was released in 2007. It introduced some helpful
features, though, like Windows Defender, DirectX 10 (for
PC gaming), speech recognition, and Windows DVD
Maker.
Windows 7
was launched on 2009. Enhancements and new
features include multi-touch support, Internet Explorer
8, improved performance and start-up time, Aero Snap,
Aero Shake, support for virtual hard disks, a new and
improved Windows Media Center, and improved
security.
Windows 8
was released on 2012 and is a completely redesigned
operating system. User interface primarily consists of a
Start screen made up of Live Tiles, which links to
applications and features that are dynamic and
updated in real time, the ability to log in with a
Microsoft account, support for USB 3.0 and an actual
lock screen.
Windows 10
came out in 2015. Some features of Windows 10
included the introduction of Cortana, a native digital
personal assistant; the ability to switch between tablet
and desktop mode; and a new web browser called
Microsoft Edge.
Windows 11
is the latest major release of Microsoft's Windows NT
operating system, released on October 5, 2021. Navigate
using voice recognition1, see what's being said with live
captions, or have on-screen text read aloud by a
narrator in a natural, human voice
2. MACOS
Macintosh OS previously called OS X, is a line of
operating systems created by Apple. It comes
preloaded on all Macintosh computers, or Macs. Some
of the specific versions include Mojave (released in
2018), High Sierra (2017), and Sierra (2016). Steve Jobs is
the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple
Company.
3. Linux
(pronounced LINN-ux) is a family of open-source
operating systems, which means they can be modified
and distributed by anyone around the world. This is
different from proprietary software like Windows, which
can only be modified by the company that owns it. The
advantages of Linux are that it is free, and there are
many different distributions or versions you can choose
from.
