Differences Windows, Linux and Mac Os

Differences Windows, Linux and Mac Os

In the use of computers there are 3 systems most often used by users or brainware that is Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. As the development of the era, now has been present one more that is Android. In every operating system must have a difference. What are the differences? let's see the following article.
Before knowing the difference between Windows, Linux, and Mac OS sometime to know first about the system operating system one by one.

1.Windows
In English Windows when translated into the Indonesian language it will mean windows. However, Windows that I discussed this is Windows that is used to serve as a computer operating system. Windows is an operating system issued by an existing Microsoft company in America. While the operating system is the basic system to operate an electronic device. So, the Windows operating system is the operating system used in an electronic tool that can be added a new program in accordance with the wishes of users, for example in the Windows operating system was given the Microsoft Office program, to help typing in the computer.

2. Linux
Similar to Windows, Linux is an open source operating system that can be used for free (for free) to be distributed under the GNU license. The first start of Linux was made by a Finnish student named Linux Torvald. Linux is a derivative of Unix and can work on a wide range of computer hardware ranging from inter x86 to RISC.

3. Mac OS
Macintosh Operating System was first created by Apple Inc. company. with an elegant design and easy to understand by the user or brainware. Macintosh Operating System is the first operating system that uses Graphical User Interface, an operating system that uses images (not just text).

That's a little understanding of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS which, when interpreted, are all the same operating systems used in electronic devices. Now it talks about the difference between Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. The following is divided into several facet sections or points of view to distinguish all three, including:

1. Segi Popularity
Windows has the first popular level.
Mac OS is the second.
Linux is the third.
      2. Price

Windows is one of the paid operating system.
Linux and Mac OS are operating systems available for free.
      3. Segi User Interface

Windows does not have many user interfaces.
Linux has many user interfaces.
Mac OS does not have many user interfaces. However, although Mac OS does not have many user interfaces but Mac OS is good to use and look at.
      4. Image Quality

Mac OS picture quality is the best picture quality between Windows and Linux.
      5. Program Completeness

The first time using Windows, it must fill in other application programs.
Within Linux there are many programs ready for use.
Inside the Mac OS there is already a program that is ready to use, but not too much.
      6. Security of Viruses

Linux has a security level of the most powerful virus. Even many people are using Linux as a virus-making operating system. And Mac OS is hard to get the virus. While Windows is vulnerable to viruses.
       7. User Leisure Facility

Windows is an operating system that is preferred by users or brainware because it is easier to use than other operating systems.

In addition seen from several aspects or point of view there are also advantages and disadvantages of the three operating systems, including:

1. Windows

Advantages of Windows:

Users can run more than one app at a time.
Can open more than one file at a time.
Can share other application data easily.
There are many applications that are compatible with windows.
Enduser / layman about the computer easy to run it.
Widely supported by hardware and software vendors.
Used by the majority of computer users in the world.
Disadvantages of Windows:

 Causes dependence on use of Microsoft products.
Space hard drives required large.
The security system is weak and easily hacked by hackers.
Requires huge physical memory.
Requires high processor speed.
License prices are expensive
2. Linux

Advantages of Linux:

 Free licensing (Open and Free) and many can be obtained by download.
Linux can interact with other operating systems by means of file system compatibility, network compatibility, and operating system emulation.
Virtual memory makes linux has the ability to run programs that are more than they should be because of the use of memory swap.
The stability of linux is incredibly stable, if configured properly, linux sysitem will live continuously until the hardware is inadequate (broken), other with windows that require periodic reboots to maintain stability.
Linux inherited the tradition of Unix by supporting file permissions, which can prevent the alteration or deletion of files without permission from the owner, because the virus is basically not recognized in the world of linux.
Supported by thousands of programmers worldwide

Lack of Linux:
* Available applications not as many as windows.
* Operating system that is not fully GUI (Graphical User Interface).
* Though already using X-windows like GNOME and KDE.
* And who do not forget according to my experience operating system is quite difficult to learn.

3. Mac OS

Excess Mac OS:

* Mac OS Not easily exposed to viruses. Designed with security oriented, Mac OS is not plagued by constant attacks from PC viruses and malware. But it does not slow down with constant security warnings and other interruptions.
* High Performance. Especially on Mac Os X- with the latest Intel processors and other best innovations, Mac OS can do all the things a Mac can do just at amazing speed.
* User-Friendly. With a very attractive GUI look, make Mac OS as one of the most popular OSs especially by graphic designers.

Lack of Mac OS:

* Mac OS can not be assembled itself because Apple has not licensed other companies to make hardware that can use Mac OS.
* Software on Mac OS is not so complete. The influence of the dominance of Microsoft windows over the years has made the user very familiar and reluctant to adapt to the latest OS.
* It costs a fortune.
* Only useful for graphic designer.
* Can not be used at the same time.
* Softwarenya not complete and not suitable to play the game because it looks less good.
