Week 5

Operating system
This is week 5, what i have learned in this week was very useful in my life especially when I learnt about operating system (OS). An operating system is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common service for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
          There are several types of Operating System, such as Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and Linux. However, I would like to describe more about Windows Operating System (OS) as the new topic in week five.
Windows OS is an Operating System that was created by Microsoft. They have a version of the operating system that is designed for the home user, and a professional version, which is intended for businesses. The versions differ in the depth of networking, security, and multimedia support. Windows is aproprietary software, which means that Microsoft has placed restrictions on how people can use or copy the software.
Nowadays, windows have created a new OS which is known as Windows 8. However, the previous windows 7 also has something very special from its content and aims to give a very useful windows, such as decrease Start Up and Shutdown times by 20 seconds, go to Sleep and Resume faster, use up less Memory, pop up Search results faster, reconnect to your Wireless Network more quickly, and recognize USB devices faster.
          
In addition, Windows 7 also saves time by not booting up various devices during Start Up unless they are currently being used. In other words, if you are not using a Bluetooth device at the moment then Windows 7 will not waste time by running that program in the background. It will wait until you have plugged it in. However performance tests of Windows 7 indicate that actual improvements vary and greatly depend on the conditions of your specific computer and the programs you are running.

In this session, I would like to share my own experience in using Windows 7 for 1 year before changing to Windows 8. Actually I am using two OS that are Windows 7 and 8. Nevertheless, Windows 7 has very unique program that allows you interact with it, because it has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows you to visually interact with your computer’s functions in a logical, fun and easy way. For example, you can use Aero Snap feature, which it is automatically sizes or snaps two windows to fit together on the screen thus allowing you the convenience of viewing them next to each other.
