Which operating system suits you

This article is written for newbies, who are totally new for computer operating

As we all know, due to tough competition many companies has introduced their own operating systems. They present dozens of features and claims that their operating system is best for you. All these things makes you quite confuse.

Many students and friends asked me which operating system should be used.

Remember one thing that the function of the operating system is just to manage your computer hardware resource and provides you certain services which helps you to operate home and office works. Nearly all operating system offers these services, its up to you which really suits your requirements. Plus ... operating system depends on your hardware profile. So you should contact your software vendor to ask minimum hardware requirements for you.

One time my student asked, "Sir I searched every where but unable to find an operating system having a player like one you installed on your computer.", I laughed and replied, "My dear this software is not coming with any operating system, you have to download and install it directly from its website." So remember; operating system not facilitate you with all software you want; you have to get your desired software copy from media like disc or website.

If you are working at small office or just working at home; not a technical person you are and you don't care about little technical mishaps as well as your budget is low (cannot afford heavy and fast computer) and if your requirements are
  • preparing office documents, presentations, spreadsheets.
  • disc writing and printing.
  • using single computer (not working over network).
  • multimedia (songs, videos).
  • internet surfing (watching videos, checking emails, chatting, general web visits).
I suggest you to use Windows XP Home Edition (Microsoft announced that extended support for all the versions of Windows XP would end on April 8, 2014 and suggested that technical persons begin preparing to migrate to a newer OS), Window Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Started. Additionally if you are working over shared network then Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista Business will be best choices for you.

You may ask me by providing your system hardware profile so I will suggest you which operating system is best for you.
