Tuesday 27 August 2013

Operating system has a collection of software's that manages computer hardware. Operating system performs the vital tasks such as inputting text from user, displaying something on output screen . In this Technological world , we have less time & we need better performances . On the basis of this criterion , we have provided the list of best operating system of year 2013

What Is An Operating System?

Operating System works as an intermediary between the application programs and the computer hardware, and also peripheral hardware and the computer hardware. It is not just computers which have OS's - even cellular phones and gaming consoles have them.
1.Microsoft Windows 7 Operating Systems : Certainly the most popular among PC and Laptop users. The latest offering is Windows 8. It is revolutionary, having been designed for both desktops, laptops, phones and tablets. Windows 7 will be hard to push out of the market: it has received better reviews than the Vista Operating System. However, Vista and XP are still available

Pros:

The largest library of programs and applications.
Some commercial games work only with Windows and DirectX.
Almost all hardware has drivers which are compatible with Windows.
Most widely used.

2.Macintosh Operating Systems : Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard is the latest product in this category. Mac users are waiting eagerly for 10.7 Lion Version. Previous versions of the OS X are pretty popular too

Pros:

Relatively simple and intuitive interface with many advanced features.
Not a target for virus or malware attacks, generally: there are no Mac OS X viruses in the wild, and with its UNIX base, it is fairly resilient. There are a small number of trojans (malicious software) which have been known to take effect through applications running in Mac OS X, though they are almost always found on illegal-content-based websites and are not of significant concern. Apple has begun integrating malware blacklists into Mac OS X to prevent infection.
Second-largest selection of software, with many high-quality Mac-only programs in existence, such as those found in iLife. Although at one point software for certain tasks were not Mac-compatible, most software is now either Mac-compatible or has an equivalent that is. Most advanced games have also recently became compatible with Mac OS X.
Reliable and high performance.

3.Linux Based Operating Systems : In the past few years - Linux Based Operating Systems have become very popular. I personally use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013 - on my computer. Apart from Ubuntu some other popular ones are - OpenSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Red Hat Linux and CentOS Linux Operating Systems.

Pros:

Low number of viruses and other malware, similar to Mac OS X
Usually free
Large selection of Linux distributions to choose from.
Has a large amount of free and open source software equivalents to commercial Windows and Mac software
More easily customizable
Can run many Windows programs with the use of a compatibility layer such as Wine. (Programs such as Cedega can be used to run many Windows games)
Reliable with good performance and low requirements.
