Google Chrome allows a user to have applications open through all their devices. The cloud is how operating systems are allowing people to stay connected to their devices and applications. Creating the same seamless experience across all devices with the same graphical user interface helps people connect using the same program on any device. Google’s Chromes Web Browser in itself is an example of an operating system graphical user interface. A user can do anything office wise, word processor, presentations, spread sheets, chat, email, and video conference. The catch is, it is in the cloud. Google drive allows for the Google Docs all to be saved within Google’s cloud. Microsoft Office is now delivered and can be managed through the cloud. A

How can people stay connected? How do vendors make the operating system more efficient? The users that are in the business world today grew up on Windows 3.1 through evolution of Windows 9x and to Windows 8. On the other side of the road the Mac OS allows a user to use the computer operating system as an extension of their mobile device from calls and document transfer. Linux has evolved from the original Red Hat used for Systems Admins on Linux servers in enterprise environments to Ubuntu and Fedora that are for everyday users with friendly OS GUIs and the ability to use them like Mac and Windows. Mobile Operating Systems show the evolution of the user’s needs for a daily basis use of an operating systems. Windows 95 was the first of the modern OS systems, it added things like an easy to use start menu and icons that were easy to use and find. Trouble shooting was somewhat easier, but it hid all of the inner workings behind a curtain for the user’s sake. Now in the modern era we have Windows 8 which is an application based operating system. From capturing pictures, to the ability to carry it around with you, the user and the operating system are integrated with Windows 8. Operating systems are about creating an ecosystem for the user, Android for example, a user has a phone, tablet, watch, streaming TV and Glass.Staying …show more content…
Xerox Alto which was the first personal computer with a graphical user interface was very basic. It had options like start, quit, clear, and type buttons. It featured screens for logs, events, and disks. In modern operating system’s graphical user interface we have roughly the same thing. Start, logs, and disk, but they are harder to find under the mask of everything else going on around them. Apple though revolutionized computing by bring out the original Macintosh, the first personal computer with a graphical user interface. When Xerox released 8010 star, this was the first GUI to include icons and shortcuts. When Apple came out with Lisa Office System 1, the user had things like a task bar and different type face. Mac OS System 1.0, has Windows based Icons and the windows could be moved around. Then came Amiga Workbench the first graphical user interface to include color as graphics and stereo sound. Then the dawn of the start of the modern operating systems graphical user interface. Windows 1.0 had 32x32 pixel icons and color graphics. AS time went on and Windows evolved into the 3.0 and Mac progressed their systems more functionality came to the graphical user interface. The problem though also comes from too much functionality. Instead of everything being one click away, it became two or more. The advances though
