WHAT IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM? An operating system is software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. In simple language it can be said that An OS is a piece of software that is needed to run the programs on a computer or a mobile device. The programs that run on an operating system talk to the hardware.

There are various Operating Systems(OS) in today’s world. Mac OS by Apple Windows by Microsoft Corp. Linux by Community

Mac OS Mac OS is a series of graphical user interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh line of computer systems. Mac OS was designed only to run on Apple Computers. In 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh PC with the Macintosh Operating System. Apple names its OS as “Mac OS”, beginning in 1997 which was previously known as “System”.

FEATURES OF MAC OS Security Reliability Ease of use Integration with Apple & Other products

Security Mac OS is a two-layered system: the ”attractive GUI” sits atop a Unix core, and Unix is best-known for its security features. It's simply impossible to install a destructive Trojan or virus unless the user explicitly allows it root access via typing in the admin password. Mac OS's built-in firewall is set up to work unobtrusively out of the box as well as being highly configurable. Mac OS users should be vigilant about strange files and never allow an application they aren't certain of admin access, but they don't need special anti-virus software

Reliability Because OS X (means MAC OS) was designed from scratch from the ground up, Mac OS is incredibly stable. Apple controls production from start to finish, so every part of a Mac is designed and tested to work together.

Ease of Use Apple's known for hiring the best industrial and interface designers around, and it shows in the intuitive nature of the GUI. I don't mean to sound like I'm verging into fangirl territory here; it's just true. Like the OS's reliability, the OS's functionality is designed to just work. The attractiveness of the interface can't be discounted. Some scoff that looks aren't everything, but when you're spending 8 or more hours a day staring at a screen, it's a relief to spend that time staring at a well-designed screen. Advanced users have easy command-line access with the Terminal app.

Integration With Apple and Other Products Mac OS will automatically recognize and work with any other Apple product, such as iPhone, Cinema Display, Airport, and iPad. On top of this, additional drivers are rarely needed for non-Apple products, and I can't think of the last time I plugged a non-Apple device into my Mac that Mac OS didn't recognize.

Windows OS Microsoft Windows operating system was developed by Microsoft to overcome the limitation of its own MS-DOS operating system. First successful version were Windows 3.0, released in 1990. Subsequently released version were “Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP Professional , Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and nowadays Microsoft launches it’s latest OS Windows 10.”

Features of Windows OS Easy to use Performance monitor Files management Plug & Play Based on MS-Dos Windows

Easy to use Microsoft windows is easy to use as compared to other operating systems in the modern era therefore Windows is most popular OS in the world.

Performance monitor Windows gives you an advantage of checking the performance of your PC . Any one can check the performance of it’s windows pc by pressing “alt+ctlr+del” keys at the same time.

Files management Windows manage your files automatically into a spefic location on the basis of the type of the file. E.g., images were automatically sent in “ Pictures folder”.

Plug and play Windows gives plug and play option to it’s user. There is no need to install the driver of any external pheriphal device like “web camera’s, joysticks data traveler devices etc.

Based on ms-dos Windows is a MS-DOS based operating system.

windows Microsoft Windows is a windows operating system: “means that every task we want to do done in it’s own window”. Every program / task has is it’s own window in which that task occurs.

Linux os Linux was originally built by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in 1991. Linux is a Unix-like, Kernel-based, fully memory-protected, multitasking operating system .

Features of Linux os Open Source Operating System. Free Software It runs on a wide range of hardware from PCs to Macs.

Open Source Operating System Linux is a open source operating system. Any programmer can modify it due to it’s needs.

Free Software Linux is a free software any one can download it from web and install it on it’s pc

It runs on a wide range of hardware from PCs to Macs. Iany pc user can install linux to it’s system there is no specific requirements for installing it.

COMPARISON SECURITY MAC OS WINDOWS OS LINUX OS THERE IS NO VIRUS IN MAC OS BECAUSE YOU CAN INSTALL MAC ONLY ON APPLE DEVICES THERE ARE AMNY TYPES OF VIRUSES IN WINDOWS OS BECAUSE OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF MARKET SHARE THERE ARE LESSER AMOUNT OF VIRUSES IN LINUX AS COMPARED TO WINDOWS BECAUSE LINUX IS AN OPEN SOURCE OS

COMPARISON PRICE MAC OS WINDOWS OS LINUX OS APPLE DEVICES ARE TOO MUCH EXPENSIVE WINDOWS IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN MAC LINUX SOFTWARE IS TOTALLY FREE

COMPARISON COMPATIBILTY MAC OS WINDOWS OS LINUX OS MANY OF SOFTWARE’S ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAC OS SO YOU FEEL LIMITED ON MAC OS ANYONE CAN INSTALL ANY TYPE OF GAME INTO WINDOWS PC WINDOWS PC IS COMPATIBLE OF ALL TYPE OF SOFTWARES AND GAMES LINUX IS A OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE SSO YOU CAN PROGRAM THE SOFTWARES THAT YOU WANT

COMPARISON RELIABLE MAC OS WINDOWS OS LINUX OS MAC IS TOO MUCH RELIABLE AND SMOOTH BECAUSE IT HAS NO VIRUSES WINDOWS IS RELIABLE BUT DUE TO VIRUSES IT STRUCKS BECAUSE LINUX IS NOT A COMPLETE OS YOU CAN MODIFY IT FOR THAT TYOE OF USAGE THAT YOU WANT

COMPARISON TASK MANAGER/ PERFORMANCE MONITOR

conclusion In conclusion, no operating system is really better, the choice is up to you. If you're a gamer, then you have no choice, go for Windows. Programmers might prefer Linux and video/graphics producers will probably tend towards Mac. The best thing to do is probably to try each OS and see which is best for you!
