Computer Operating System

An operating system or OS is the core of all the software on any computer. Without an OS the computer could not access files, installed programs, the internet and all other important information stored on it. Essentially, the OS is the most important piece of software installed on a computer because it is absolutely necessary to run any of the other programs that are installed on the computer.

Currently, the major operating systems available on the market are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix. Considering the importance of the OS, you should take great care in choosing the right one for your computer.

When deciding which OS is the right one for you, there are a few things you should evaluate first:
  1. What Will It Be Used For?

    • First, think about what the OS will be used for. For example, a computer being used for business would require an OS that can handle important business data with ease. If the computer is being used for home and/or school, then an OS designed for gaming with a good word processor would be best. Or if the computer were for a new use, then the best choice would be a simple, user-friendly OS.

    • Typically, most new computers come with an OS pre-installed on them - Apple computers come with Mac OS X whereas most PCs come with Windows XP. So, it is also important to consider the operating system even when choosing a new computer.

  2. What Level Of Security Do I Need?

    • Security, especially these days, is one of the highest priorities whether it's for home or business. Not surprisingly, each OS has a different level of security that it provides. Microsoft Windows and Linux are widely viewed as the easiest operating systems for computer hackers to get into while the Mac OS X and Unix are labeled the most secure operating systems around. Microsoft does try to make their OS safer by consistently providing security updates but hackers still manage to find their way through.

Behind every Windows operating system is an area which very few of us ever have to enter. It is the Windows registry and without it, our computer would not be able to run at all. Every time we do something on our computer, the registry is accessed in one way or another. Information is constantly being written to and taken away from the Windows registry and it does not take much for errors to begin to compile.
