Operation OS

For some of you that don’t know OS stands for Operating System and is the main software that connects your hardware to you, it provides a base for programs to be installed to and allow them to operate with the hardware. Articles

Most people use Microsoft's OS's such as XP, Vista and soon 7. Also we all know about the Apple's OS x making up only 8 - 12% percent of the os market. These are the top OS's but not the only ones. Many distributions of Linux an open source OS that use to be known as a nerd's os because it was thought to be hard to use and difficult to install but now days it’s not true. Many distros have become just as easy to use as windows such as Unbuntu, Susie and one built by HP and soon a Google chrome linx based OS to step out.

But what should you think about all these options? Should you look for the cheapest such as the Linux distros because they are free? Linux is in the shadows larking to strict, because the distros are catching up with the major os's and soon don’t be to scared if they start taking more market share due to netbooks/tops and because of Google! Or should I go Apple because it’s supposedly easier, doesn’t get viruses and makes me look cool in a coffee shop? Or should I go with Windows a thought to be THE MAN, or strict, viruses consumed, hard to use and not user friendly? Well we all know the stereo types t hat come along with each os. We can’t seem to get the Mac Vs PC commercials out of our head with John Hodgeman as PC and Justin Long as Mac and the different situations where the Mac turns out in the end as the best option and does all you want and PC made to look strict business and not fun os that has many flaws. I am going to look into each OS not to far in-depth but just the info we need to make a decisions on what might be best for you or me.
