Operating Systems and Software Applications - Microsoft Windows 8
Introduction
Microsoft has been the world leader with respects to computer Operating Systems Software, and has increasingly become more efficient and precise with each release. Microsoft released their first version of the Windows Software (November 20th, 1985). This operating system was an anomaly at the time, and has progressed to the point that it is used worldwide on most computers in the world. All of the leading competitors have used Windows as a benchmark and have either copied its features or expanded upon them.
This paper presents the latest release from Microsoft; Windows 8 and explains the benefits with this operating system advantages, and disadvantages of the system, and its software applications (Figure 1).

Operating System
An operating system is basically described as “the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer” (Rouse, 201). Operating systems and applications help the company reach their goals because it enables their employees to use them as tools to do their jobs more efficiently which can subsequently lead to increased company sales and revenue.
Operating systems are the primary tool that can help the workers be more efficient, by allowing them to use specific software to complete their required tasks.
An operating system that is out dated, can present computer software freeze ups, loss of data, and eventually loss of productivity.
Software Applications
Application software is computer software that is designed to help users perform specific tasks. Applications use the DBMS for four operations: to read, insert, modify,
