Linux is a multi-user, multi-tasking, 32-bit operating system based off of the UNIX operating system developed in the 1960s. One of the main characteristics that sets it apart from other operating systems such as Windows is that it is open source, meaning that the source code comes with it and the user is able to modify, sell or redistribute it freely. But a company or an organization did not write Linux, it was written by a college student named Linus Travolds. With the help of many programmers, often called hackers? Linux has surprised many people by being a stable, high quality system that has little central control.The kernel is the heart of an operating system, and when most people

In my search to discover the similarities and differences between the cooperative and preemptive multitasking methods, I have been hard-pressed to find an abundance of material. From what I can discern, there are no true similarities between the two, other than the obvious: both are multitasking methods, both require use of an operating system, etc. Differences, however, abound.Cooperative multitasking is, for the most part, obsolete. In this method, each process periodically checks with the operating system to determine whether or not another program or process is in need of the CPU. Should this be the case, the currently running program will relinquish control to the operating system

Boot process is the time between a person turned on the computer and the time the computer is ready to be used. Boot process runs very smoothly in Windows computers, but if there was a problem, it needs to be repaired before any software is open. As the power-on self-test is operating, the boot process produces flashing lights, whirring noises, and beeping. This test gives you a warning if the computer is out of whack, but it's unable to warn you of what's about to happen. The most important purpose of the boot process is that it loads the operating system from hard disk into memory, which communicates with any input, output, or storage devices.

The government claimed Microsoft Corporation tried to eliminate Netscape and Java by undermining Java as an independent operating system using a version that was Windows specific (Antitrust Issues, 2003). Microsoft's concern was if Java developed an independent program to run on a Windows computer, consumers would use both programs. The Justice Department filed the complaint against Microsoft on July 15, 1994, accusing Microsoft of using exclusionary contracts with several personal computer manufacturers (Antitrust Issues, 2003).
