major competitors, Google and Apple also produce software and hardware, as well as operating system. Second, the threat of new entrants for Microsoft is low, since new company will require large amount of capital to be invested to enter the IT industry dominated by a few large companies. Third, the threat of substitute goods or services is rather low, since Microsoft’s competitors are producing different operating systems, software and hardware. Avoiding the “sameness” is the strategy that all…

that help the IS do their tasks efficiently. 2. Operating system platforms: this is what runs the hardware devices, the software is used to act as an interface for the user and manage the incoming date and output. Currently, this sector is dominated by Windows operating systems, and servers by UNIX operating systems or Linux. 3. Enterprise and other software applications: used to interconnect the organisation’s already existing application systems. This would consist SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle,…

exist solely inside a computer. It is anything non-touchable, non- viable set of instructions coded in machine languages. Example: Operating system, Compiler, Interpreter, and application software are examples of software. Hardware: The term “Hardware” is used to refer to…

Introduction: Operating system is the essential component that runs on a computer and it manages computer hardware and software resources, provides all the services required for the programs. The basic operations performed by the computer are when a user enters the key the output should be recognized, controls all the devices like printers and also keeps track of all the files. The different types of operating systems are • Multi user Operating system allows multi users to run the programs at…

(Central Processing Unit), Memory and Related Electronics, All the peripheral devices connected to it and its operating system. Computer Systems will fall into 2 categories: Clients and Servers. Any computer system needs both hardware and software components to work together to help the computer system to work. Hardware - Is a physical component that contributes to the build of a computer system. For example… Processor, Main memory, Secondary Memory, Input Devices, Output Devices Software - Is…

some common aspects, but the operating system, hardware, and price can really set these two apart. The operating system of a Mac, created by Apple, is very user friendly. It’s very easy to find what you’re looking for quickly. It is also very appealing to the eye. The OS has a very cool and slick look to it, giving it a nice modern look. It’s also very smooth when in use; for example, when scrolling, it isn’t choppy, putting strain on the eyes. The operating system of a PC is somewhat user…

Windows can be a confusing operating system with a variety of options and a clutter…

Processes and Threads In 1965, a man by the name of Gordon Moore who was the cofounder of Intel noticed that the number of transistors per square inch had nearly doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. He predicted that this would be the case for years to come. But the pace has slowed down with the limitations of massive transistors in a small space emitting so much heat and with the speed limit of the electron, being the speed of light that his prediction has been limited…

Introduction Often, team members of both Apple and Microsoft convocate to ameliorate the upcoming operating system that they plan to release in a certain period of time. Many different features are added to technology each day to facilitate the use of it. For example, Cortana (the Windows Phone Assistant), the Snap Assist feature on Microsoft, and Phone Companion are qualities that aid the success of an operating system. In Apple, features such as Control center, Task manager and fingerprints…
