Greetings, be welcomed to my Blog, once again I am up and running!
So this time I will talk about the 3 major OS existing. And yes I know there are tons of other OS out there but this ones are the ones that take more of the spotlight.
What they know about OS?
Así es: Windows, Apple & Ubuntu [Linux]
Let's begin with Windows:
There's barely no one who is not aware from the existence of Microsoft Windows. It is the first OS who got to the masses with easier GUI. To the record, most people think it is the only OS existing. Windows made easy to drag/create/browse/edit files, unfortunately, it made it easy everything, such as virus. This OS is the easy target for hackers, virus, spyware, malaware and such evil software.
It began with the dream of a man, a man who wished for having a PC on each home with Microsoft software installed, yes I am talking about William Gates, more known as Bill Gates. He developed and crafted what Windows, Microsoft and the actual software we know.
Yet the story of how Microsoft got to the top is plagued with treats, punishment and suffer, by both; the user and the developers alike. Windows began with the early versions who were loved, like the Windows 3.1. Bill Gates always making his OS to become the standard and the most known. This made him the wealth man he is now, as well hated by the MacFanatics and Linux users. To adquire a PC mostly you have to pay for a license of Microsoft Windows in order to get it; with the years the licenses have scaled high even more, almost as cost as the price of the machine.
With the years Microsoft began to lose users as other platforms come out: Apple with their Macintosh, many kinds of Linux OS, mobile phones with more power every year, the existance of Free-of-Cost Ubuntu OS and their apps that were compatible with Windows, just with the best price out there.
Recently Microsoft understood that the evil corporation image was bad for their business and changed how to make deals and they began to chill down, with a new and fresh start. Began to let users get betas, receive they comments and make changes. This has made Redmond into a better company. Nowdays, William Gates has left the company and started with his own life.
What makes Windows a great platform is that the user is free to get for his own machine, most of the software available is on Windows platform first and making easy-to-get any program in existence. Games always come first to Windows and years later the ports for Apple and Ubuntu appear.
Let's move on and check Ubuntu:
What is
Ubuntu? Most of the people doesn't know it exists...barely. But it is a great OS known for its community, always watching the code of the Penguin System. There exist free software included with the penguin one, the classic office required one like: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, a PDF reader, as well games of its own, video player, music player, an Internet browser, an IM able to connect with different accounts, mail, and much more!
The limit is barely seen, the system can make and unmake, it is hard to hack and there is almost none virus in this one. Very safe I can tell. If you got any doubt of how making something in it to work ask in their forums or in the IRc channel, someone will be glad to help and inform you how to make the whole process smoother.
The bad side is that not everyone is good at computers and might need a lot of help with this OS as it also needs from time to time the use of the terminal to make things up and running. Some software is hard to find, but not impossible. Lack of games if your are into it a lot. You can still use an emulator of Windows but not all games runs alike their Windows sider, some might impress how outstand their windows counterpart.
This not a OS of one, but of all a community decided to progress.
Now for the last: Apple:
This company has always been the rival of Windows, always trying to take the attention of the media and the creation of some nice devices. Their OS is Macintosh. Apple the creator of Mac OS X, crafter of their own line of Macs, makers of iPods, iPads, iPhones, iOS4, iPods Touch, iMacs and of everything that they decide to name after an "i". The company started rivaling with Microsoft with the image of the free thinkers, the new generation, the Think Different. Their past is known because of failures in the crafting of computers, some of which they would feel embarrassed to talk about. Steve Jobs is the man in charged of making the gears move in this company.
Lately they created deviced that look 'cool' and the image of the company changed become what Microsoft was before, giving you a good looking device, expensive and with low power compared to any PC with same cost. As well some iMacs are known to die barely after the warranty has expired and the solution is an expensive fix or the purchase of a new Mac. Their marvelous iPhone is known to have a good looking and easy to use; but Jobs makes his moves to make it impossible for the average user to install any app that is not presented in the Apple iTunes Store, to make it work as any other >smartphone< in the market, you must 'jailbreak', but also there exist chances to Jobs ban your phone, which is unsound. Also Apple has the nerve to make new version of the same every 6 months, making changes their fanbase claimed at the beginning and presented as if no one else had it before, like the touchscreen, camera WITH a light-camera-photo-purpose (because Jobs hates Flash it is called that way), camera that records video and multitask. It took 3 versions before updating their hardware, into a 5mp camera that records video and have the same light thing, multitasking and almost every fan of Apple has purchased every single version of the same phone, such sick...this makes the iPad look outdated and which they will not take too long to deliver a newer version before the end of the year. The iPods for the first time will get a FREE update which is new to the model Jobs has been using over the years, asking for money of an update of the OS in the device you already bought!
Just for the record, Apple have the most annoying fans with their 'true OS' and the false idea that it is invulnerable to virus and hacks! Yes it is false, because exist virus for Mac and they are more dangerous than in Windows since, Apple loves to have your Credit Card* info stored in iTunes; a hacker can make use of your CC and purchase anything he wants before you get a notification. So wake up Mac users, the lie has been found and you can't keep it believing!
