Every new computer that’s brought home from the store has an operating system installed onto it. But what most new computer users don’t realize, is that without an operating system, that computer would be a simple shell of possibilities. A powered computer lacking an operating system wouldn’t display anything more than a bunch of confusing text messages that describe the computer’s boot process. At the very end of this process, the computer looks for an operating system and if not found, it will prompt the user to tell it where it is.

Earlier computers didn’t have an operating system and if you have experience with the computers of the early eighties, you’ll remember that most to them didn’t even have a hard drive! These old computers booted an MS-DOS type operating system from drivers stored onto a floppy disk, and in order to use a program, users would remove the boot floppy and then insert a new floppy that contained the program. The floppy not only stored the program (word processor, spreadsheet, etc.), it also stored the drivers that the program needed to communicate with the computer’s hardware. As you can imagine, the cumbersome process of switching from floppy to floppy prompted the birth of the operating system.

An operating system is a software program that controls how the computer’s hardware (and installed software) works. It manages the activity of every component and then displays that activity as a user-friendly interface (GUI). It keeps track of where things exist on a computer’s hard drive as well. But perhaps most importantly for the end-user, the operating system is responsible for translating commands issued with a keyboard and mouse into binary code (010110101 stuff) that can communicate with a set of speakers, a printer, a scanner, and more.

With an operating system installed onto a computer’s hard drive, users no longer need to boot a computer with a floppy disk, nor do they need to run programs from a floppy disk. All the drivers of a program are stored onto the computer and used whenever a program is started.

Apple’s Macintosh computer was among the first of a couple systems to establish a user-to-hardware relationship through a user-friendly interface. Today, we have quite a few operating systems. Some of the more popular ones are Windows Vista, Mac OS X, ZETA, IBM, Unix, and Linux. But even still, operating systems have extended onto to non-computer devices such as game consoles, portable music players, and PDAs. Regardless of the device, the operating system installed onto it serves the same purpose across the board: to enable user-to-hardware communication.

When you think about upgrading your computer to a new operating system, be careful to make sure that you have the necessary hardware components. We tried to upgrade one of our Windows 98 machines to Windows XP, but we were cautioned that the former may not be hardware compatible with XP technology. Apparently, the Windows XP operating system requires components that weren’t developed at the time Windows 98 was distributed and if we were to install Windows XP on this machine anyway, the new operating system would look for hardware that the computer didn’t have. And that would be an instant recipe for failure.

Also be careful about installing operating systems that are incompatible with existing hardware. The hardware of Macintosh computers is extremely different from the hardware of Windows computers and under no circumstances will a Windows operating system work on a Macintosh machine!

They who used Cisco equipment on their network system will not face any trouble in case they want to integrate with others network platform such as Huawei or Juniper. How this could happen? Basically Cisco, Huawei, Juniper etc have the similar concept on the networking and more over they have similar Command Line Interface (CLI). Cisco is the pioneer of this Command Line Interface (CLI) then followed by many network manufactures. It means when you will configure and troubleshoot on those network platforms you will have clear idea how it should be

The Command Line Interface (CLI) which have the similar command e.g. how to show current configuration on the router. Cisco requires command “show current-configuration” or “show config” to display the entire of current configuration. Others platform will use similar command to display the same configuration such as “display current configuration”. Cisco platform requires to type “enable” command if you want to configure the router. Most of others platform requires the same command or similar command such as “system” command. The hardware architecture almost has the same design such as modular, double power supply for high series etc

The whole configuration on the router device is referring to Cisco platform. This is benefit when we used Cisco equipment. The similar command and concept will be in others platform. If you want to learn more about Cisco platform including how to configure the router, you can go to http://www.osihardware.com/. There is much information especially about Cisco router.

At present, almost everyone in this world has a computer. Computer does have many benefits in our lives everyday. For those of you who are still in college or already working, computers can help you to create tasks and reports. Computer can also be a means of entertainment as well, such as for watching movies, listening to music, and playing games. Everyone will think people who are not familiar with computers as being stupid. In addition, almost all companies must provide conditions for people who want to apply for a job that can operate the computer.

There are computer companies that are well known in the world operating system creates a very powerful and used by almost everyone in the world. Name of the operating system is Windows. Are you also include people who use this operating system? Have you ever found it difficult to connect the hardware, such as the printer to your computer? You do not need to worry, actually what we need is the windows drivers. This software works so that your hardware can be connected to your computer using the Windows OS. Things you should know is that all the hardware that will be connected with computers that have a particular operating system would require drivers. You can find a lot of computer drivers over the Internet and you can also make the driver updates for your computer to update the drivers.
