What operating system? A good answer would be a set of programs that provide a graphical interface to interact with various devices in the computer. This definition will remain in force until a few years ago, when the operating system is just a few icons and menus that you see when you turn on your computer. Operating system provided file and device management with the help of the GUI.
But with the development of computers, operating systems also have evolved a lot. From simple file and device management, a modern operating system should be stable and secure data stored on your computer. Data stored on a computer, can be anything from music, movies and photos on the data you have, and are stored in different files. It takes only a small virus, a power cut or failure of the device for the destruction of data.
Todays operating systems to try to anticipate such a scenario, and issuing warning messages and take proactive measures to minimize data loss. I would like to talk about Windows XP and Windows Vista, because 80% of computers run on Windows operating system Windows Vista and is an update for Windows XP.
Windows XP has been around for 8 years and is now considered one of the best operating system Microsoft released. If Windows XP was released it was considered a resource hogger. Windows XP requires 128 MB of RAM to run smoothly. There are also numerous complaints about the high installation times of frequent accidents. Microsoft has released Service Pack 1 and things have changed. Most of the security holes are fixed, and Windows XP has become stable. Windows XP was built to give a user experience, easy to install and the module and play capability.
In a few years with XP, Internet threats has grown, and Microsoft started bundling anti-spyware products, along with Windows XP. It will not help much, and because Windows XP is the most frequently used, hackers trying to find ways of hacking systems, Windows XP. This has necessitated the creation of a more secure operating system, Windows Vista, and came in the picture.
Some problems with Windows XP is that password protection is not sufficiently secure, users can use the bootable CD as a live miniPE road novice or circumvent passwords and access to the file system. Another important problem is Internet Explorer 6, which is the number one target for hackers. By operation of the home in safety IE6 hackers could take control of IE and, therefore, Windows XP box. And last but not least, when you try to search for a file in Windows XP, you have a very slow search tool.
Now its Windows Vista, which is structurally stronger and far more visually appealing. Vista comes with the Encrypting File System (EFS), which takes care of file level security. Vista allows you to encrypt the entire partition or hard drive with just a few clicks. In Windows Vista Internet Explorer works with a limited resolution. If malicious code into the system through a browser can not do much harm, because Vista simply refuses to allow him to run. File Search has improved a lot with Vista.
But 2 nights mares with Vista becoming the old hardware is working, and annoying pop-up prompting you to allow or block any action you performed.
