operation OS, Windows

Microsoft Windows
Of course they are going to be first! Windows has a long history and a few mess ups on the way such as millennium edition (notice I did not mention vista, keep reading). The one thing you will always hear is viruses on PC is a huge problem and yes it is! But if you look into the reasons why it’s apparent it’s not all Windows fault and this is why. The web is filled with windows users just as someone making a business would like to target a majority crowd for the best profits is the same reason why spyware / malware / Trojans are targeted at PC’s they make of nearly 80% of the computers on the web. That’s a large share and more profitable for hackers. Simple things like to click popup, strange emails (Nigeria you know who I’m talking to!) and anything that’s free and not from a reputable source. Nothing is free!!! Keep that in mind when you click that free iPod link because you just paid with the PC’s safety. A lot of people see Microsoft since it’s a corporation (even though Apple is to) that they push their ideas and what they want onto you and restrict you from your own ideas! Well any PC user knows this isn’t true, not only does Microsoft have many apps you can download to change windows they allow thousands of companies to write programs for the OS making software titles for anything you can imagine, also many enthusiasts make freeware apps to help with tasks. I hear from a bunch of people that windows can’t do this can’t do that is missing this, well my answer to them is the OS is a Base a foundation, a foundation is not the house and does not provide anything the rest of the house offers but supports it providing a strong place for the rest of the house to sit. Windows is just a base they provide what you need to start using your PC and offer basic functions. I don’t what Microsoft telling me I should use this app because it’s preinstalled or because they think it’s what I should use! I want to go out a choose my burning software or my video editing software because we all know the basic tools are not meant to be used for professional anything because they are basic!
