The so-called operating system is the management of computer hardware and software programs, all the software is based on the basis of operating system programs developed. In fact, the type of operating system is many, industrial use, commercial, personal, involving a wide range. Here I only introduce our normal computer common operating system are what.
Windows operating system
The Windows operating system was developed by Microsoft Corporation, most used for our usual desktop and laptop computers. The Windows operating system has a good user interface and simple operation. We're most familiar with Windows XP and today's popular Windows 7, and newer Windows 8. Microsoft has also developed a server-friendly operating system, like Windows Server 2000,windows Server 2003. Typical desktops do not install this type of operating system, because the original design is for the server installation, hardware requirements are different.
Unix Operating system
Unix basically is installed on the server, no user interface, basically is the command operation. So when you get into the system it's a dark interface, and then a cursor flashes and flashes. There is no entertainment software, can not see the picture, can not listen to the song.
Linux Operating system
Linux is a UNIX child, he inherits many of the UNIX features, and also joins some of his own new features. Some Linux have interfaces or not. And Linux is open source, free of charge. Anyone can make changes and then develop an operating system that has its own characteristics. Better to do is: Red flag, Ubuntu,fedora,debian and so on. These can be installed on a desktop or laptop. also has the corresponding software to use, for example: Qq,ie and so on some commonly used software.
Apple OS
Apple operating system is a relatively well-known operating system, in fact, we do not know that he is based on the development of UNIX. He has a good user experience, a gorgeous user interface and simple operation. His design is very user-friendly, the most demand is a good customer experience.
We are familiar with the above kinds of bar. In fact, the most primitive is Windows,unix. UNIX has a very large variety of operating systems behind, because of his security and other qualitative but user experience is not good, so generally used in industrial, commercial. In fact, Android also has a computer version of the operating system, but it is still evaluated, I do not know whether to promote. And Chrome OS is also the operating system of the computer.
