 If you`re coming to windows 8 with no experience or expectation.be prepared for a shock.Windows 8 is different,it works in a different way,and it`s aimed at a different set of devices than any previous iteration of Microsoft`s PC operating system.in fact,it could be argued that the introduction of Windows 8 signals the death of the `PC` as we know it.And that may be no bad thing.
By designing and building its new operating system in the way it has,Microsoft has acknowledge that the era of being tied to a single desktop computer is over.Windows 8 works just as well as on a tablet or laptop as it does on super-powered workstation.It does this by having a redesigned interface that`s suited to both touch and mouse and keyboard input,and by keeping the system requirements low to improve performance and battery life on even portable computers,Indeed,combined with Intel`s lvy Bridge processors,Windows 8 PCs will be the most power efficient and portable Windows computers ever.


But everyone likes change.for all those who rush to embrace the latest technology,there are plenty who see value in the mantra of if it ain`t broke,don`t fix it.The enduring popularity of XP bears testament to that.If that sounds like you:fear not.You`re reading the right publication to help you get to grips with Windows 8,regardless of your technical experience.

Classification of OS

Classification of OS
Classification of Operating System


 One possible classification is based on the number of users and tasks as given bellow:

Single user and single tasking


Allows a single user to operate the machine in an interactive conversational mode but normally allows only one user program to be in the main storage and processed time.
  • Example:MS DOS

Single user and multi tasking

Allows a single user to operate the machine in an interactive conversational mode and allows more than one user program to be in the main storage.
  • Example:MS windows

Multi user Multi tasking

A multi user system has a powerful processor with central data program storage connected to a number of dumb terminals.
Example:
  • For super personal computer multi user environment -SCO UNIX,ZENIX
  • For mini and Mainframe Computer environment-UNIX,SSP,OS/400,VSE/SP,VM

User Interface OS.2

User Interface OS.2
User Interface

Hello!!!!! visitors today I post about User Interface, i think it important for you..

The user interface is what you see when you start a computer.The user interface is comprised with a set of easy to use commands,icons,menus,etc.This is the main source of the work the computer to get something done.Basically there are two types of user interfaces;

1.Command Line Interface
2.Graphical User Interface(GUI)


Command Line Interface

In command line interface,the user has to enter commands through the keyboard to get something done from the computer.The main draw back of this method is that the user should remember the commands and their syntaxes.Any wrong commend will display an error massage on the screen.Another drawback is different commands are used to do the same task for many software applications,resulting a command mix up.



Graphical User Interface(GUI)

Users communicate with the OS and other Software Applications through the interfaces containing  icons,buttons,bars,menus and boxes etc.,to work with the computer.The main advantage is that,the users need not remember the commands and syntaxes to execute a job(s) withing computer.
GUI-short for Graphical User Interface,a GUI uses icons and menus to carry out commands such as openings files,deleting files,moving files,etc. A GUI OS is often operated using the mouse however,it also allows keyboard shortcuts or arrow keys to be used navigation.

GUI OS have become very popular because of their ease of use and because it does not require the user to memorize commands that are used with non GUI OS such as DOS or UNIX.

Operating Systems OS.1

Operating Systems OS.1
Operating Systems(OS)

Hello! visitors today I think discuss about OS.It important to all computer users,etc..
The system software that manages and controls the activities of the computer.Operating system decides which computer resource will be used,which computer program will be run,and the order in which the activities take place.An Operating System performs three main functions.


1.Allocation and Assignment of system Resources

 
The Operating System allocates resources to the application jobs in the execution sequence.It provides locations in primary memory for data and programs and controls I/O devices.


2.Scheduling 


Many other functions or activities will be carried out at the same time while you are working with Computer.The Operating System decides when to schedule the jobs and when to execute them.
For example; while a program running.the Operating System schedules the use of input,and output devices.


3.Monitoring


OS monitors the activities of the Computer system and it keeps a track of each computer job;like what programs are used,at what time,etc.Most of the OS are actually stored in a disk where primary storage has easy access to it.Whenever parts of the OS are required by activated application,it is transferred to the main storage and gets loaded to it.
There are number of different types of OS in common use.The IBM PC(Personal Computer) was introduced way back in 1981 and was originally supplied with an OS called DOS (Disk Operating System)later on,Microsoft introduced Windows and this is the OS that is most widely used in PCs,Laptops,TAB,Mobile phones,etc.today.
