Operating Systems

Computer operating systems are the basic building blocks for computer users. It is the “brain” that allows the computer to operate and can be quite important.

As we have shown you, there are many types of operating systems, and which one you choose is a personal decision.  Each OS has its own specific advantages and disadvantages.

What you need to do is look at the features each has to offer and then pick the one that best suits your needs. You don’t have to be stuck with Windows any more if you don’t want to be. Now you have a choice!

When you have a better understanding of what operating systems can offer, you’ll be better informed to make your choice. While the terminology can be complicated, we hope that you now understand that each system is really built with the user in mind which is the most important component to operating system designers.

So next time you log on to your computer, remember that behind the scenes there are many, many things going on that you can’t see. Try to imagine your computer usage without these things. It is truly magical to be living in the computer age. Your operating system just makes it easier and more enjoyable.

There’s no big secret to an operating system, but now, hopefully, you know more than you did before - now that operating systems have been uncovered!
