PLATFORMS

There are currently three main platforms for running a computer: Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.



Windows


Microsoft Windows is arguably the most used operating system in the world (some estimate that between 80% to 90% of computers run Windows). It certainly is the easiest platform for which to find software. Windows runs on PC computer hardware, especially requiring an Intel-compatible processor (such as the ones made by manufacturers like Intel or AMD).
Windows XP, the latest version of Windows, uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage files and run software.


Macintosh

Next in popularity to Windows, the Macintosh platform by Apple is the most common alternative to Windows. The Macintosh operating system requires different hardware than Windows, in particular the PowerPC processor (mostly manufactured by Motorola).
The latest version of the Macintosh platform is called OSX. The Mac platform has long been favored by artists and designers for graphical and multimedia work.



Linux



Rapidly gaining ground in the platform popularity contest is the Linux platform. Part of its success lies in its roots in the Open Source software movement - there are many distributions of Linux available for free to download off the Internet. Linux offers a great amount of user control and configuration to the user, but also requires a greater amount of technical proficiency in order to install and configure it.The Linux operating systems can run on the same PC hardware as Windows. In fact, many users of Linux will often configure their computers to dual boot - where the user has the choice to run either Windows or Linux when they turn on the computer.

Most people use windows operating system because since the beginning they learn computer their operating system is windows, then no wonder if windows dominate 80 - 90% in the operating system computer market.

But if we want a PC that is stable and safe from viruses and really support for networking (server), linux is the most reliable for users.

while the MAC show features to optimize a graphics at their operating system even though they are commercial as microsoft.

I think windows is very flexible, because windows has been old in world and more application in every shop of computer have support with windows and this is make user very enjoy to use windows.


For linux, most people use linux for network, specially it use for server in networking because use linux is very save from virus and very more easy to configuration then windows for network and very cute in logo of linux.


For macintos, I this is top operating system in the world, because in many big country use it, this operating system most need use to entertainment such as to make movie, photo, game etc, but in Indonesia macintos is still little to use it because it’s very expensive and difficult to get application.

Linux is a TOP operating system in the world.


The People use a linux operating system because linux have some high quaility is multitasking,secure,multiuser,open sourche,portable.

I think linux very advantages because i can be use all application for my necessity.

Angga Yassfitra said...

I think Windows it's the one and only the most popular operating system in the world, but... i don't know??,
May be almost people use that operating because the application is very simple especially Indonesia haaa.

i think, if we want an easier platgorm we better choose windows platform because it easy to use.
if we want a save platform we better choose linux platform. but process in linux is complicated

Bina Sungkawaman said...

I think if we want a safe PC from virus then we better use operating system linux because linux have system high protect to a file that kept inside. and linux also better in supporting a network.

most of people only can use windows for from early they use sure computer system windows that used because that windows easier used in comparison with other operating system and more practical.

while macintosh more shows in graphics and picture because have features like for making game photo, video and entertainment, many people in the world had used macintos nevertheless for in Indonesia its price has been too expensive for a few application that used.

If I talk about LINUX, I think LINUX is an operating system that's free and so popular.
LINUX is used to make reference to LINUX distribution that always along with other programes except his operating system, such as : Server Web, Data Base, Dekstop Environment, and Office Suite.
LINUX distribution has been growing rapidly in popularity, until more popular than UNIX Version Proprietory and begin to compete with Microsoft Windows domination in several case.

y.o.s.e.f said...

I think everyone who has been acquainted with computer, of course they know about Microsoft Windows too, because Windows is the most used operating system in the world.
Not including with LINUX, because LINUX is an operating system that multifunction and applicable with a variety of platform computer.
LINUX has some characteristic and superiority, such as multitasking, secure, ready for network, portable, backing shell, multiple diverse and utility.

Chandra Bayu Adhi said...

There are many thing operating system. LINUX is the operating system that more stable and it can more safely from viruses attack. So it the great operating system just than other OS.
We know there are many kind of LINUX, like RedHat, Macintosh, UNIX and the new kind of LINUX that based on Indonesian language is BlankOn. It is the first open source LINUX that using Indonesian language. Because an Indonesian people who made it.

yudistira akbar said...

viewed from an operating system function properly adjusted to the needs of popularity I think we have exceeded the window popularity that other OS. window more general use by all computer users. reason may be because the window easier to use for the nonexpert computer users. but most people who know their computer has been almost more often than using the OS window. but the view from the start linux at this time exist, because it has a lot of computer users who switch to linux, and not infrequently they install 2 OS in one pc.

Arie Irfansyah said...

I think linux is a great operating system more than Windows and Macintosh, linux is operting system who available utility, security, and capablity for handing any operating in computer. linux is easy to used, but many people said that it is so complicated, because many people were ussually use windows to operating system on their PC, and Linux give ease to build a network and it is available great security. Beside it linux is free and open source, and until now linux still free for virus. So open your mind and use the open source.

Yudha Dwie Gustian said...

Windows..,I think windows operating system is a fast, stable and very easy to operate system. More than 80 % people in the world use microsoft windows Operating system, thats mean, windows is very great for beginner.

I think Linux is a great Operating system, Linux is open source operating system that makes it easily accessible, for example Red Hat Linux it also provides high security to the users as the operating system is less prone to viruses.

many people using machintos operating system for graphical and multimedia working, but the machintos operating system need different hardware than windows, it makes many people dislike machintos operating system.

I think
Windows is a series of operating system software and the users graphical tools produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating name of the Windows environment in November 1985 as an add to the MS DOS as a response to growing interest akan communicator pemakai graphics. Microsoft Windows came to dominate 90% in the personal computer market. So, many in the world who use Windows. Windows version of the latest is that Windows 7 will now be introduced before 2009.



I think
Linux is a general term that refers to the operating system Unix-like Computers. Software Linux, Ubuntu is popular in the world. Linux is a software based free or without pay if we use Linux.

ASEP NURYAMAN SARIPUDIN said...

I Think
Macintosh, or Mac, is a series of some form of personal computers designed, developed and sold by Inc. Many people who use the Macintosh or Mac usually for graphics. However, the Macintosh requires a different hardware with Windows. Therefore Many people rarely use a Macintosh or Mac.

Ridha Maulani said...

Every one think different about Operating System.
There are many kinds, such as Windows, Linux, and MAC.
I agree that Windows is the most OS in the world.
Because I have seen that windows used in school, it's good for basically user because it's esy to use.
when you try it, you will like it very much.

But now we found some people use linux on their PC, it's look difficult, but if you try it, you will get something new on your PC, you can change your dialogue box with good effect, and step by step you will like it and you will use it to your PC or you will use 2 OS on your PC.

And here MAC OS, many people think that MAC is hardly to use, because MAC is different than windows and linux, I think so..
I've use MAC but it just want to know, but I cant use it.
hehehe...

Mandakharisman said...

windows that is operating system is very stable and good also popular enough or used many in society because besides his usage easy to also many various program or application able to be attached at windows. But is one insuffiency [at] windows that is we have to buy his license at the price of costly enough.

Machintosh is one of the operating made by system apple with GUI the good enoughness with 3D, but insuffiency from machintos this only computer (PC) just is made by apple able to run it.

Linux is operating system recognized many by wide society, because operating system linux this have the character of open source also us enough easy to to get it only remaining download in site him opening and don't in imposing the expense. linux besides his graph quality is good but also linux easy to in its use. but too much distro linux so that we should be able to choose such linux matching with requirement.

but microsoft windows the remain to nicest.

Garry Afrialdi said...

according to my operating system windows operating system is very easy to use that many people may be due to the windows operating system that was first recognized by the people before the operating system - to its other operations. windows is also an operating system that is not so complicated. but its price is expensive to make a lot of his loot.

I think linux is an operating system that has both the security operation. but make use of its superior user kesulitan.linux from its network because many companies in indonesia would also use the linux operating system in addition to its cheaper price and the network is a very good security system is like it.

macintosh
Macintosh or usually do at the mac this is the first to popularize the computer graphical user interface (graphical user interface / gui), which at that time a revolutionary development in the world perkomputeran desktop. The difference with the Windows or Linux, the Mac is superior in terms of graphics and picture on the mac because we can create animation movies pictures and other nya.tapi price its a very expensive and difficult for the user so the user is still slightly

Poppy Choerunnisa said...

Windows is one of many Operating System. Windows is Operating Sistem that easy to use and to understanding many people. It is Operating system that use many people because windows have fast processing and stabil processing. first stronger of windows is easy to use this operating system.

Linux is a operating system that called multitasking and multiuser. Graphical User Interface in LINUX more good than Windows because in LINUX Operating System have three dimension (3D) that can make good animation and picture. Linux usually have called network Operating System, because many configuration of network at LINUX Operating system.example : RedHat Enterprise.

Macintosh is apple Operating System. Macintosh is operating system that producting by Apple. Macintosh usually have called difficult operating system because it is dificult to using and understanding people/user. the cost of macintosh is expensive. we can have macintosh if we buy PC (personal Computer) or Notebook that product of Apple. GUI at Macintosh more best than Windows and Linux.

Windows is a personal computer operating system from Microsoft that, together with some commonly used business applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel, has become a de facto "standard" for individual users in most corporations as well as in most homes.and i thing windows is very easy to use that many people.

Linux is a Unix-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive Unix systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system.

The Mac was designed to provide users with a natural, intuitively understandable, and, in general, "user-friendly" computer interface. including the mouse, the use of icons to represent objects or actions, the point-and-click and click-and-drag actions, and a number of window operation ideas. Microsoft successfully adapted these user interface concepts for its first Windows operating system.

Microsoft Windows is the name of several families of software operating systems 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 graphical user interfaces (GUIs).[24][25] The most recent client version of Windows is Windows Seven Release Candidate, Build 7100. The current server version of Windows is Windows Server 2008.

Linux is a family of Unix-like computer operating systems. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open source development: typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone.[26] The name "Linux" comes from the Linux kernel, started in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The system's utilities and libraries usually come from the GNU operating system, announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman. The GNU contribution is the basis for the alternative name GNU/Linux.[27]

Franky Dwi Nata said...

For some people who don’t recognize Linux platform, they will use boot dual (Linux and windows), but for some people who recognized Linux platform, they will choose Linux platform, because many distributions of Linux available for free to download off the Internet and all application or software at windows can be run at Linux platform.


The Linux operating systems can run on the same PC hardware as Windows, but there are some types of Linux distro need special PC hardware to run it. One of them is Linux RedHat which can run at ATA or IDE hard disk and can’t run if we use the SATA hard disk.


Now, Microsoft windows create the new operating system (windows 7) which has same fiture with Linux platform.

agung kurniawan said...

Linux come in many flavors.the various distributions of Linux come from different companies (i.e. Linspire, Red Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu, Xandros, Knoppix, Slackware, Lycoris, etc. ).

linux is a operation system very secure because virus can't be infect your computer if your computer using linux and your file will be save.not like linux ,windows not secure because virus can be infect your computer and destroy your file on your computer and windows is very expensive because you must buy licens for using the product.

so moving away from windows and over to linux.

Ahmad Fauzan N said...

Windows platform has dominating the world operating system. Because the operating system is easy to learn or user friendly. Compatible with the Microsoft applications like Microsoft Office, Microsoft C#, Microsoft Outlook Express and many more, makes windows enjoyed for office activities, programmer, and other profesions. If you want Windows Operating System you must buy the original and legal.


Mac Os or Macintosh is Operating System that all application you must download from the website of Apple Computer Corporation. Mac Os installed in all Apple Computer products, like MacBook & I-Mac.


Linux is Operating System that based from UNIX system. Linux is open source Operating System, so all user can contribute the idea or solution for better Linux. Linux have many Distribution Outlet or we called Distro. The Distro's are Ubuntu, Red-Hat, Blank-On, Xandros, Free BSD, and many more.
Linux is saver from virus than any operating systems because commonly virus created for Windows Operating System and unaffected for UNIX systems. Linux also free, it makes many people or commonly programer interest for trying and modificating it.

Tofan Saltiawrdhana said...

My opinion about windows was to be enough popular. Windows was the operation system that was quite true often was use in the world. In each company or the other agency most use windows. Apart from easy in his use to be also very flexible. But that often was used was windows XP and now was developing windows the vista. From the aspect of the security windows was easy to be infected by the virus.

Machintos was indeed developing in the world, moreover in Indonesia. Clear different his use with windows. Possibly this difference from the aspect of technology. Then many people still could not operation machintos. According to me from the artist's circle or the designer was thought by me still often used windows.

According to me the popularity linux did not lose from windows. Most people have begin use linux. A great number distro / the kind linux that could obtain. Linux also had the very high security. Most people who were interest in linux apart from to software him that is in graphic tampilan linux.

windows
i think, windows Operating system that is widely used worldwide. because it is very easy to use by users and supported by many software support

linux
linux is a software security with a relatively high, only a limited application only and not by general users worldwide

macintosh

macintosh operating system is issued by the apple. operating system features a full, just in indonesia is less user

Muhamad Yudhi Perdana 042 said...

I think the windows operating system is the most popular and most widely used worldwide because of its easy to run. compared with the products that are less popular linux but according to my personal linux operating system is good because I see the side of its security.
Macintos akan apple product is this product a lot but its lack of comparison with the linux and windows.

kurnianto ramdhani said...

I think it is a windows operating system is widely used by all and very easy to use, GUI windows has supported since version 3.11.
with some of the features offered by the Vendor on any microsoft product series in the windows remove, windows the operating system as most powerful

But the weakness of the windows is less so contemptuous "science belong to everyone" because in fact the windows product branded with a license, compared with a high mark with a free linux Gnu / GPL.
because it is a linux-based operating system open source multidynamic that can be developed by anyone.

I think windows is software operating system dominating and popular the world, because is easy to used and learn by user, More application of computer have support with windows.

Linux is software operating System that based from UNIX system, According to me the popularity linux didn't lose from windows, because linux open sorce, secure, multiuser,and portable.

Macintosh or Mac Os is software operating system used many people for graphical and multimedia working.

Mochamad Widyanto S. said...

According to me, Windows is the operating system that is easy to operate it. Almost all of the computer using this operating system. But in Windows easily fell ill once the virus that causes damage to the part of the file.
Meanwhile, according to my linux system which is a multiuser, multitasking tools compatible with a complete UNIX. Many people also practice because linux is free for use, copy, distribute, and free to the appropriate modifications that we want.
In addition, on linux there is no virus that causes damage to the file.
While the Macintosh or Mac is one of the type of PowerPC-based personal computer manufactured by Apple. Macintosh computer is the first system to introduce a graphical interface (GUI). And this can only be used on computers manufactured by apple.

M fiqri said...

I think a windows operating system is very easy to use by anyone, the windows are also very popular among the public and also used by the world of education.

windows is also very necessary in many fields, such as in companies, military, industry and homes. windows is the best human creations.

Riana MS said...

Windows one of popular operating system in the world.
many people can use it. specially windows XP

Linux is Operating system that based from Unix sistem.
The largest part of the work on Linux is performed by the community the thousands of programmers around the world that use Linux and send their suggested improvements to the maintainers.
But I thing linux is a confiused operating system.
Because for used linux you must understand and learning about programing.
I dont like it.

Muhammad Reza Nurrifq said...

I beg yiur pardon...I hope your can receive my comment....
I think Linux is the bes choice for operating system if I compare to another operating system...why!!!
I have much reason for my choice of Linux operating system.
first,Linux is Free and open source. its mean that we can get linux operating system by free whe do not have to pay to get it. if we compared to another operating system like windows and Machintosh each of operating system is must pay to get use it. besides it,another reason is open source it's mean that we can to configure the system of linux (not like windows and machintosh).
another important reason is that linux is safe from viruses, worm and another thing that can damage of the operating System

Fajar Eko Nugroho said...

microsoft windows much easier to use because in its use, besides also making a lot of windows are used in various countries may be one of them more famous than the windows operating system with other systems. into the excess of the operating system microsoft windows.

machintosh operating system issued by the apple still be new people. but because every apple product machintos need to make the operating system's popularity machintos also increased.

Linux is a rival for microsoft windows. linux has some advantages and also compared with the lack of windows.
I think linux is better in terms of the application. linux excess can be seen from the gui is more beautiful than the windows.
