3. Research on at least 5 Operating System (aside from MS Windows)
•Apple macOS- Head to head in the competition with Microsoft Windows is Apple. Apple and Microsoft
are both examples of proprietary operating systems. This means that the company conceptualized,
designed, developed, and now sells the OS. They are designed and sold by the companies, and aren’t
meant to be tampered with or tweaked by users. Apple and Macintosh computers run on the
proprietary macOS and OS X system. There are also previous versions/updates:
•Google's Android OS- The OS that Google uses to run its Android mobile smartphones and tablets is
based on Linux distribution and other open source software. Android OS is the primary OS for Google
mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Android has gained increasing popularity since its release
as an alternative to Apple’s iPhone for smartphone users, and is continuing to increase in popularity
with new updates and exciting features.
•Apple iOS- is another mobile operating system used exclusively for iPhones and iPads, some of the
most popular mobile devices on the market. iOS integrations have regular updates, new expansions to
software, and continually are offering new features to users even if they have older devices. iOS started
with version 1, and has gone up numerically with each update (1.1, 1.2, 2.0, etc.)
•Linux Operating System- is different from Windows and Apple, in that it is not a proprietary software,
but rather a family of open source systems. In other words, anyone can modify and distribute it. Linux
may be the least known on this list, but it is free and available in many different open source versions.
Linux is popular because of its ease to customize and offers a variety of options to those who
understand how to utilize it. If you know how to customize and work with operating systems, Linux is an
ideal choice. And if this kind of coding and back-end work is interesting to you, it may be a good idea to
purchase a Linux system and get started manipulating it.
• Microsoft Windows- The Windows OS has been around since the 1980s, and has had several
versions/updates (e.g., Windows 95, Windows Vista, Windows 7/8/10, etc.) Microsoft Windows is one of
the popular operating system types and is preloaded on most new PC hardware. With each new
Windows update/release, Microsoft continues to work on improving their users’ experience, hardware,
and software, making Windows more accessible, and easier to use.
