CCT1023 Group A (22 July 2009)

In today's lecture, Miss Azura taught us bout Technology Computer in class. This topic was non other than learning bout computers (hardware, software, input device, output device, etc....). Besides that, Miss Azura also ask us to find the differences between windows and Apple Mac OS. This is what I found: Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating system and grafical users interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in grafical users interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced previously. At the 2004 IDC Directions conference, it was stated that Windows had approximately 90% of the client operating system market. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows Vista; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008. Vista's successor, Windows 7 (currently at release to manufacturing), is scheduled to be released on October 22, 2009. Mac OS is the trademarked name for a series of grafical users interface-based operating systems by Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) for their Macintosh line of computer systems. The Macintosh user experience is credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. The original form of what Apple would later name the "Mac OS" was the integral and unnamed system software first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh, usually referred to simply as the System software. It was a trimmed-down version of the operating system underpinning Apple's earlier Lisa product.
