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

Operating Sys Deleting
HD deletes operating sys (9) Help! has anyone ever heard of a hard drive deleting a Operating system? I have a old HP that I
had been playing with, trying to fix it up for a friend young son to mess around with. It had no
Operating system in it to start with. I had a old hard drive laying around that had windows 98 in
it which was perfect for the old HP due to memory and being just a 286. Well, I removed the old HD

Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
linux operating system (46) About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
(34) Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
Linux and take Windows anyday. ....

Indian Operating System
i just find... (1) I think Linux sweeping the world was a bit of a premature prediction (what everyone in relatively

true oligopoly that has crushed the chances of any third party OS, like BeOS, one of the most
promising OSes of the 90's IMHO. Linux and Unix really need a serious internal structural revamp
(like the NT system does of course), perhaps even a change to a server based OS; I guess that would
sort of be a total rewrite of all the code though Copied from "Olorix" on http://fo....
