• AN OPERATING SYSTEM IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON A COMPUTER. IT MANAGES THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY AND PROCESS ES, AS WELL AS ALL OF ITS SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE. IT ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMPUTER WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO SPEAK THE COMPUTER'S LANGUAGE. WITHOUT AN OPERATING SYSTEM, A COMPUTER IS USELESS. THE OPERATING SYSTEM’S JOB • YOUR COMPUTER'S OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) MANAGES ALL OF THE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ON THE COMPUTER. MOST OF THE TIME, THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT COMPUTER PROGRAMS RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEY ALL NEED TO ACCESS YOUR COMPUTER'S CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU), MEMORY, AND STORAGE. THE OPERATING SYSTEM COORDINATES ALL OF THIS TO MAKE SURE EACH PROGRAM GETS WHAT IT NEEDS. GRAPHICAL USERS INTERFACE MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS USE A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE, OR GUI (PRONOUNCED GOOEY). A GUI LETS YOU USE YOUR MOUSE TO CLICK ICONS, BUTTONS, AND MENUS, AND EVERYTHING IS CLEARLY DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN USING A COMBINATION OF GRAPHICS AND TEXT. MICROSOFT WINDOWS
MICROSOFT CREATED THE WINDOWS OPERATING
SYSTEM IN THE MID-1980S. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WINDOWS, BUT THE MOST RECENT ONES ARE WINDOWS 10 (RELEASED IN 2015), WINDOWS 8 (2012), WINDOWS 7 (2009), AND WINDOWS VISTA (2007). WINDOWS COMES PRE-LOADED ON MOST NEW PCS, WHICH HELPS TO MAKE IT THE MOST POPULAR OPERATING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. • MACOS (PREVIOUSLY CALLED OS X) IS A MAC-OS LINE OF OPERATING SYSTEMS CREATED BY APPLE. IT COMES PRELOADED ON ALL MACINTOSH COMPUTERS, OR MACS. SOME OF THE SPECIFIC VERSIONS INCLUDE MOJAVE (RELEASED IN 2018), HIGH SIERRA (2017), AND SIERRA (2016).
• ACCORDING TO STATCOUNTER GLOBAL
STATS, MACOS USERS ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 10% OF GLOBAL OPERATING SYSTEMS ,MUCH LOWER THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF WINDOWS USERS (MORE THAN 80%). ONE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT APPLE COMPUTERS TEND TO BE LINUX • LINUX (PRONOUNCED LINN-UX) IS A FAMILY OF OPEN- SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEMS, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN BE MODIFIED AND DISTRIBUTED BY ANYONE AROUND THE WORLD. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE LIKE WINDOWS, WHICH CAN ONLY BE MODIFIED BY THE COMPANY THAT OWNS IT. THE ADVANTAGES OF LINUX ARE THAT IT IS FREE, AND THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTIONS—OR VERSIONS— YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM. • ACCORDING TO STATCOUNTER GLOBAL STATS, LINUX USERS ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 2% OF GLOBAL OPERATING SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, MOST SERVERS RUN LINUX BECAUSE IT'S RELATIVELY EASY TO CUSTOMIZE. Thank you for your attention! LITERATURE • COMPUTER BASICS: UNDERSTANDING APPLICATIONS (GCFGLOBAL .ORG)
