Operating Systems

MS-DOS. This operating system was developed by Microsoft in 1981 for all IBM PC compatibles. Today it's only used in old PCs. In this text-based OS, you communicate with the computer by typing commands that exist within its library. For example, some basic DOS commands include: DIR (shows a list of all the files in a directory), COPY (makes a duplicate of a file), DEL (deletes files).

Windows XP. Most home PCs use Windows. Here are the most common versions:

Windows 2000 is built upon the Windows NT architecture and designed for business uses;

Windows Millennium is designed for home use. It includes new system safeguards and support for DVD, music players and mobile computers.

Windows 2007 is an update to all Windows versions, with a new visual design. It's more secure and reliable. It offers support for latest technologies.

Pocket PC. This OS is developed for handheld computers (or palmtops) that use a stylus or a small keyboard for input.

UNIX. This OS, designed by Bell Laboratories for minicomputers and workstations, has been widely adopted by many corporate installations. From the very first, it was designed to be a multi-tasking system written in C language.

LINUX (Linus Torvalds). Protected under the GNU general public license, Linux is the open source, cooperatively-developed POSIX-based, multi-tasking operating system. Linux is used as a high-value, fully-functional UNIX workstation for applications ranging from Internet Servers to reliable work group computing. Linux is available for Intel platforms.
