Operating Systems

 

An Operating System is software, consisting of programs and data, that runs on computers, manages computer hardware resources, and provides common services for execution of various application software. The operating system is the most important type of system software in a computer system. Without an operating system, a user cannot run an application program on their computer, unless the application program is self booting.

Which is better for programming wise?

[13l00dy STRR]

Vista, can't see why anyone would want to switch from one operating system to another once they've got used to it. Also Microsoft #1 just because of the head start. suppose Apple is good for multimedia, why does anyone use Linux?

Windows 7 or the lastest Linux, depending on you're current system.

I'm sure people will use Linux for Embedded Devices and they support IRC Chatrooms, great for RS Clans. I've never used Linux myself; but I'm sure it's worth trying. :thumbsup:
