    Introduction to Computing 05 Activity 2

    Differentiate the types of system software programs.


    The System Software is a general-purpose software while the
    Application Software is specific purpose software. System Software is
    written in a low-level language like a machine or assembly language
    but Application software is a high-level language is used to write
    Application Software

    What are the functions of an operating system?


    Managing resources
    Providing user interface
    Running applications

    What are the features of an operating system?


    Icons, Pointer, Windows, Tabs, Help, Menus, Dialog boxes, Gesture
    Control

    Differentiate the categories of operating systems.


    Embedded operating systems these are operating systems that are
    entirely stored within a device while Stand-alone operating systems
    also called a desktop operating system, control a single desktop or
    laptop computer and Network operating systems (NOS) are used to
    control and coordinate computers that are networked or linked
    together.

    What are the examples of desktop operating systems?


    Windows, Mac OS, Unix and Linux.

    Is it possible to install multiple operating systems on a single


    pc?
    Yes

    What are the possible ways of installing multiple operating


    systems on a single pc?
    Multi-boot
    Virtualization

    What are desktop operating systems?


    These are intended for use in a small office or home office with a
    limited number of users. These run single-user applications and share
    files and folders on a small network. Every personal computer has an
    operating system controlling its operations. The most widely used
    desktop operating systems are Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and Linux.
    What are the examples of desktop operating systems?
    Windows, Mac OS, Unix and Linux

    What are the ways to install multiple operating systems on a


    single desktop computer?
    Multi-boot
    Virtualization

    What are the examples of mobile operating systems?


    Windows Phone, Android, iOS

    Compare mobile operating systems and desktop operating systems.


    The difference between a mobile operating system (OS) and a computer
    OS has to do with how individual tech companies have rolled out
    various versions of the operating systems that supply the fundamental
    environments for traditional software applications as well as new
    mobile apps

    What are the examples of mobile operating systems?


    Windows Phone, Android, iOS

    Compare the different mobile operating systems.


    Android is based on the Linux operating system. It is an open-source
    OS, which means developers are given access to unlocked hardware to
    develop new programs and iOS is based on Mac OS and is used as the
    platform for Apple’s iPad and iPhone. This OS is distributed
    exclusively for Apple hardware. And Windows phone is known for its
    user interface based on Metro (a designed language created by
    Microsoft, which aims to remove extra decoration and allow users to
    interact directly with content). The home screen is made entirely of
    Live Tiles, which are links.

    What are utility programs?


    These are specialized programs designed to make computing easier.
    These programs assist with a wide range of system maintenance and
    security functions, such as checking storage disks for errors,
    blocking security and privacy threats, and backing up important files.
    There are hundreds of different utility programs available; some are
    built into the operating systems, and there are utility programs that
    can purchase, such as Antivirus programs.

    What are the examples of utility programs?


    Disk Defragmenter, Windows Memory Diagnostic, Disk Cleanup, System
    Configuration, Task Manager
    When to use a utility program?
    Utility programs are applications included in system software that
    perform special functions such as managing system resources and
    improving efficiency. Some utility programs come built into the
    Windows or Mac operating systems; others you can purchase off the
    shelf.
