QUOTE(delivi @ Mar 6 2006, 10:12 PM)  The OS so far released by the Microsoft are, -- Windows CE(Mobile) -- MS DOS -- Windows 1.0 -- Windows 2.0 -- Windows 3.0 -- Windows 3.1 -- Windows NT -- Windows 95 -- Windows NT 4.0 -- Windows 98 -- Windows 2000 -- Windows Me -- Windows XP -- Windows XP Media Center Edition -- Windows 2003 -- Windows Vista OS The Operating System(OS) acts as the middleman between applications and hardware, with the help of of which programmers don't need to know the internals and complexity of the hardware they write codes for. Their programs just need to talk to the OS, which in turn talks to the hardware. To acheive this, the OS provides the programmers with an Application Program Interface(API), which lets them write programs that can communicate with the OS. thanx alot bro never knew that!! |

I would say, That An Operating System is a bridge between The Hardware and ( Users & Applications ). It basically provides the framework that let other things to use a computer hardware to perform desired tasks.
HARDWARE | OPERATING SYSTEM | +---------- USERS | Applications It's on the Operating System to manage everything regarding Hardware, User Permissions & lot of other stuff. Moreover a good OS is that which is fast, secure, reliable, Robust etc. |

friends, i will tell you what is OS in a simpler form.An operating system is one which acts as an interface between the user and the computer and it is the soul of the computer, we can call the operating system as a larger program too. what happens when you switch on the computer is that the operating system gets loaded into the main memory that is what is known as the booting of the computer.

QUOTE(tuddy @ Mar 7 2006, 06:26 AM) And if you know whats good for your computer, and security of your data you'll use something other then Windows, or Make sure you fully up-to date with all windows patches, updates, service packs, have firewall and Anti-Virus. Otherwise, expect spyware, adware, possible hacking, pop ups and just a total system melting down in a matter of days connecting to internet. Keep your system with an Antivirus with latest virus definitions update , I prefer use Nod32..which is more reliable and faster than any other AV solutions in the market, i think ! If u have no internet connection to update your windows , download Auto-Patcher and install.It allow to user to update many system with one downloaded Auto Patcher utility |

The Different Versions !
Microsoft released windows XP into two versions .Windows xp home and windows xp professional .It was readily apparent that the Pro version was the more feature packed ! |
