Software and Operating Systems

Software A set of instructions written in a computer language to carry out a specific task

Operating Systems Windows, Linux, Mac What’s the differences? GUI – Graphical User Interface

Operating System Software A collection of software that manages computer software resources and provides common services for computer programming Intermediary between programs and hardware Controls time-sharing between processors

Operating System Software Task Manager

Operating System Software Disk Defragmenter

Windows Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8 Most commonly used operating system. Began in 1995 MS-DOS 1985

Windows Pros You can play video games Most commonly used? Easy to learn and use (debatable) Everything works on Windows Lots of answers online about problems

Windows Cons It’s terrible. Lot’s of security holes, viruses Lots of features (sometimes too many) Some inefficiencies or contradictory programming

Linux Linux OS systems come in a large variety: Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, Debian are all Linux Distributions Used by people who want the bare minimum, programmers, computer geeks

Linux Pros What’s the difference? Mostly the GUI. Better management of resources, better GUI’s, better security Open Source – less viruses Easier to configure Flexible Access technology/2013/10/the-navys-newest-warship- is-powered-by-linux/ technology/2013/10/the-navys-newest-warship- is-powered-by-linux/

Linux Cons Very steep learning curve – Unix Commands Bare bones Very easy to mess up your operating system No games

Mac OS OSX Lion, Mac OSX, Mountain Lion

Mac Pros GUI is really good Easily Interface-able with other Apple products Built off of the Linux/Unix OS is lightweight and manages multiple programs well Very small number of viruses

Mac Cons Vulnerabilities haven’t been tested by hackers Expensive. Can’t get Mac OS unless you buy a Mac
