- 1. INTRODUCTION OF WINDOWS OS BY: ARYAN BAROT
- 2. Introduction of Windows OS Windows is an operating system developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is the most widely used OS for personal computers (PCs) in the world. It provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make computer use easy for users, with icons, windows, buttons, etc.
- 3. History of Windows OS Version Release Year Description ◦ Windows 1.0 1985 First GUI-based OS by Microsoft ◦ Windows 3.1 1992 Improved graphics and font support ◦ Windows 95 1995 Start Menu introduced ◦ Windows 98 1998 Internet Explorer integrated ◦ Windows XP 2001 User-friendly and stable ◦ Windows Vista 2007 Aero GUI but slow ◦ Windows 7 2009 Fast, reliable, widely used ◦ Windows 8 2012 Start screen with tiles ◦ Windows 10 2015 Combined Start Menu + tiles ◦ Windows 11 2021 New UI, better multitasking, Android apps support
- 5. ◦ Graphical Interface – User-friendly with icons and menus ◦ Multitasking – Can run multiple applications at the same time ◦ Plug and Play – Automatically detects hardware ◦ Security Features – Firewall, antivirus, user account control ◦ File Management – Easy file handling with File Explorer ◦ Networking Support – Connects easily to LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth ◦ Update & Support – Regular updates and patches ◦ Search Function – Built-in search bar for apps/files
- 7. ◦ Easy to Use – Best for beginners with simple GUI ◦ Wide Software Support – Most software and games are made for Windows ◦ Hardware Compatibility – Works with most hardware and drivers ◦ Regular Updates – Security and feature updates are frequent ◦ Strong Community – Lots of tutorials, forums, and support
- 9. ◦ Costly – Not free (paid license required) ◦ Virus-Prone – Targeted more by malware than Linux/Mac ◦ Slower Over Time – May become slow with age or heavy apps ◦ High System Requirements – New versions need better hardware ◦ Less Customizable – Compared to Linux
- 10. APPLICATIONS / USES OF WINDOWS OS
- 11. ◦ Personal Use – Browsing, multimedia, emails, etc. ◦ Office Work – MS Office, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. ◦ Education – Learning software, coding tools, e-learning ◦ Gaming – Largest platform for PC gaming ◦ Software Development – Supports tools like Visual Studio ◦ Multimedia Editing – Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. ◦ Business Applications – Data management, accounting tools ◦ Internet Browsing – Using browsers like Edge, Chrome
- 13. Linux is a free, open-source, and Unix-like operating system based on the Linux kernel, which was first released by Linus Torvalds in 1991. It is used in servers, desktops, smartphones, embedded systems, and even supercomputers. Linux is multi-user, multitasking, and highly secure .Many distributions (distros) exist: Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Kali Linux, Red Hat, CentOS, Arch Linux, etc. Unlike Windows, Linux gives users and developers full control over the system.
- 14. HISTORY OF LINUX OS YEAR EVENT
- 15. 1969UNIX OS developed at Bell Labs (foundation for Linux)1991 Linus Torvalds, a Finnish student, created Linux kernel and released it as open source 1992 Linux licensed under GNU GPL (free to use and modify) 1993+ Many Linux distributions started appearing 2000s Used in web servers, supercomputers, and cloud systems Today Powering most of the internet, servers, Android phones, IoT devices, and AI systems
- 17. Open Source ◦Source code is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute.
- 18. Free to Use ◦No license fees required.
- 19. Multiuser and Multitasking ◦Multiple users can use the system at once, and many tasks can run simultaneously.
- 20. Security ◦Very secure, uses permissions and user roles; less prone to malware.
- 21. Portability ◦Can run on almost any hardware (PCs, smartphones, routers, etc.)
- 22. Customization ◦Users can change the interface, kernel, and system behavior as they wish.
- 23. Shell/Command Line Interface ◦Strong command-line support for developers and system administrators.
- 24. Support for Programming ◦Ideal for programmers, with tools like GCC, Python, Perl, Java, etc.
- 25. Stability and Performance ◦ Rarely crashes, used in systems where uptime is critical (servers).
- 27. 1. Free and Open Source ◦Saves money; developers can contribute and improve it.
- 28. Highly Secure ◦Less affected by viruses and malware than Windows.
- 29. Stable and Reliable ◦Runs for years without crashing
- 30. Customizable ◦ Everything from interface to kernel can be modified.
- 31. Lightweight ◦Runs well even on older or low-spec computers.
- 32. Supports Many Architectures ◦ Works on PCs, servers, phones, IoT devices, etc.
- 33. Great for Developers and Servers ◦Preferred choice for coders, sysadmins, and companies.
- 35. Not Ideal for Beginners ◦ Learning curve for new users, especially command line.
- 36. Less Software Availability ◦ Many commercial apps (e.g., MS Office, Adobe Photoshop) are not available natively.
- 37. Gaming Support is Limited ◦ Most PC games are made for Windows (though improving via Steam, Proton).
- 38. Hardware Driver Issues ◦ Some hardware (e.g., printers, Wi-Fi cards) may not work out-of-the-box.
- 39. Compatibility Problems ◦ Some file formats or websites may behave differently.
