C1A1Y Introduction to Windows Operating System Windows is an interface that enables you to work with your computer through graphical symbols and text rather than text alone. Windows helps you work with the various pieces of information that make your computer run and makes it easy to run the other programs. There are certain elements that all Windows programs have in common. They use buttons‚ called tools‚ as well as menus that contain commands that you select to perform tasks. Windows uses

down a household computer to its hardware elements‚ computers have similar parts. Each of these affect the whole computer and will increase or decrease performance based on the capability of each part. One piece of hardware often will bottle-neck the system‚ slowing down how quickly information can be processed. The main components are the motherboard (main component that everything plugs into); the CPU (central processing unit‚ processes information supplied by the software); RAM (random access memory

Vista’s networking features and adds homegroups – a simple way to create a network and securely share your pictures‚ music‚ videos‚ documents and printers. Sounds good‚ right? We’re not entirely convinced. Homegroups will only work with Windows 7 systems‚ so if you’ve got an old XP or Vista PC then you’ll have to create and manage your network the old-fashioned way. Once you’ve figured out how to do that‚ it’s hard to see why you’d ever move to homegroups in future. It’s even possible that users will

Process Management Operating systems are the link between the user and the applications and the hardware. They are responsible for deciding how the user commands will be interpreted and how the operating system itself will carry the process. There are several different types of operating and each carries out processing in their own way. Windows‚ UNIX/Linux and Mac are some of the most popular and widely used operating systems. Even though each of these is unique‚ as operating systems they all share

1.0 BASIC CONCEPTS 1.1 What is a Process? In computing‚ a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. Depending on the operating system (OSf a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently (Robbins‚ Kay. A. and Steven Robbins‚ 1996). A computer program is a passive collection of instructions; a process is the actual execution of those instructions. Several processes

INTRODUCTION TO OPERATING SYSTEMS THOMAS KRAWCZYK 03/23/2013 Over the past twenty or so years‚ there has been a never ending debate within the computing social realms‚ on whether software operating systems should be developed as open source or whether private companies should keep their source code closed from users of the software. This paper will define open source and closed source software models. In addition‚ a comparison between open source and closed source operating systems will be examined

UNIX By CIS 155 UNIX Operating System March 4‚ 2012 Abstract In the beginning‚ two men Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1969 created an operating system that still has potential and relevance in today’s ever changing computer world‚ that operating system is called UNIX. I will be going over the past and present of UNIX and will also tell on how I feel about the future of UNIX. In the past‚ UNIX‚ a dominant operating system which pioneered the future of operating systems and how they are used
