\"Windows<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Windows, Linux and Macintosh are the three operating systems that are being used today. These three OS are not new operating systems. Having survived for almost three decades the Big 3 Operating Systems still\u00a0 play a vital role in computing.<\/h3>\n

Let’s star with the Windows OS platform. With 90% market share Windows\u00a0 is the most widely used OS even today.<\/h3>\n

Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Windows is the most compatible OS found today. Most of the software’s developed run on the Windows platform. Applications, drivers, games and many other complex software’s run on Windows.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Windows support is legendary. As the OS is used by a large number of users it’s support network is large. It is possible to find various stores dedicated to giving support for MS Windows.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Ease of use. The Windows OS is user very user friendly.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    1.\u00a0 Windows OS needs an Anti-Virus software to make the OS secure.<\/h3>\n

    2.\u00a0 The original version of the OS comes with a large cost.<\/h3>\n

    3.\u00a0 \u00a0Some versions of the OS usually take up lot of space in the PC.<\/h3>\n

    Linux<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Linux is an open source OS developed during the early 90’s.<\/h3>\n

    Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    1. Linux is an open source software which makes it available to everyone for free.<\/h3>\n

    2. Linux is actually not an OS. It is a kernel. Therefore, there are multiple versions of the software. For example, there is Fedora, Ubuntu , Chrome OS etc.<\/h3>\n

    3. Linux has a good shield against viruses and is considered to be more secure<\/a> than Windows.<\/h3>\n

    Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Linux is not much compatible. Only a few applications can actually run on Linux.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n

      Linux is complicated compared to Windows. An user will need a good deal of computer knowledge and commands to actually make it work.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n

      Linux is usually not pre-loaded. Very few vendors usually\u00a0 pre-load the computers with Linux.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mac OS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Mac OS is even older than Windows. It was the first ever Graphical User Interface based computer system the world has ever seen.<\/h3>\n

      Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      1. Apples’ Mac OS is in a different league when it comes to shielding users from attacks.\u00a0 The OS has features like Gatekeeper<\/a>, xProtect<\/a> and Apple’s Sandbox<\/a> which makes the system almost 100% secure.<\/h3>\n

      2. Macs run only on Apple computers and are less prone to crashing. Also, it is not easy to find a pirated version of Macintosh<\/h3>\n

      3. Aesthetically pleasing\u00a0 user interface and easy to work for users.<\/h3>\n

      Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. \n

        Mac is super expensive. It’s much more expensive than Windows or Linux.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
      2. \n

        Mac is not\u00a0 that compatible. Most software’s are not designed to run on Mac.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
      3. \n

        Mac is gamer unfriendly. The OS is not known to run a lot of games.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The OS of today are quite improved from the OS of the 90’s . However, the underlying features haven’t changed much. The OS of the future will be more about creating a better user experience through deep learning. AI will play a significant role in improving the OS’s of tomorrow.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
