Reading Notes - Week 3

LINUX

The reading on Linux gives a brief overview and history of the operating system. It was conceived from Unix and is Open Source. Until I started my graduate studies, I had never realized there were operating systems besides those offered by Windows and Mac. This guide was interesting, but it was also difficult to understand.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X is the standard operating system for Apple products. Mac OS X is based on the Mach Kernel. It is also the tenth version of Apple's operating system and brought several changes and enhancements.

Windows

This article laid out concerns from customers about Windows. Windows XP will be supported until 2014. There have been improvements with Windows Vista (in the areas of security and compatibility). Windows 7 was supposed to be a further improvement in services and a solution to any incompatibility problems.
