Since yesterday is available on the web the new update, the only far-from Windows 7. Many users were waiting for this story because, as mentioned, so far there was no official release from the people of Microsoft Windows for the last of their systems operating acquire certain aggiornamiento.

But not all rosy. We will see why, before we say some key issues. The news had been raised by Michael Kleef on 10 February. This Windows Product Manager had said precisely that this update, called Service Pack 1 of Windows 7, was already in its final phase, ie RTM (the code is already completed no longer needs the developers any finishing touch). What Kleef was also commented that SP1 would be available via Windows Update.
But, it is important to know that all the innovations of SP1 (which also function as radical innovations to the extent that many of the updates were already available on Windows Update, but now they are packed in a unit that makes things easier) are routed to Windows Server 2008 R2.

But what are these new? The main ones are two: Dynamic Memory and RemoteFX functions. Both optimize the Windows Server virtualization. Upgrades vary in size from 260 to 330 MB.

The latest rumors indicate that yes, or at least soon know all. Google has already officially Release Candidate status to Chrome OS and unofficially has leaked the November 11 date for a possible launch. That day would have been designated by a developer of the company in an open issue in the internal forum Chromium.

The set of software that enables effective management of resources of a computer is known as operating system or software of system . These programs begin to work just turn on your computer, and that manage the hardware from the most basic levels and also allow interaction with the user.

It should be noted that operating systems do not work only on computers. On the contrary, these systems are found in most electronic devices using microprocessors, system software enables the device to fulfill its functions (eg, a mobile phone or DVD player).

The operating system meets five basic functions: the provision of user interface, the resource management, the file management , the task management and support services and utilities.

As the user interface, the system ensures that the subject can load programs, access files and perform other tasks on the computer. Resource management enables the hardware address, including peripherals and network . The system software also takes care of file management, to control the creation, deletion and access to, and task management software being implemented by end users.

Finally, we mention that the support service is responsible for updating the versions, improving the security of the system, add new functions, control the new peripherals are added to the computer and fix errors in the software.

Journal Ti: Although more well known for its open source browser Firefox, Mozilla Foundation is also responsible for a series of software products created under the same model and mainly based on the Gecko layout engine.

On 27 July, the company announced its plans for a project that seems to be the largest initiative in the history of Mozilla: an operating system for smartphones and tablets, called Boot to Gecko (B2G). In the ad, and additional comments explains that B2G be based on the Linux kernel and connectors available. Also used elements already created for the Android platform to make the system easier to implement in various units and terminals. As we know, Android is used by a wide range of manufacturers of smartphones and tablets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mozilla ensures that there is a difference between B2G and Android. “We intend to use Android as possible. Our interest is to use connectors on the kernel, like libc and associated elements. It is unlikely that we use Java APIs for Android.

Good to begin with things known, having both access to the units that interest us, “writes Mike Shaver, VP of Technology Mozilla. Being a community where everyone can express their ideas, Shaver admits that other approaches might have different or even better on the subject, so welcomes divergent views and proposals for B2G. Something that is very clear is that B2G minimally, or even absent, will offer a specific programming interface for a system. Applications may be based on existing or future API. The project will develop APIs that provide access to operating system functionality and the unit itself, such as phone, sms, camera, USB, Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication).

The acquisition of Palm by Hewlett Packard, one of the pioneer companies in Silicon Valley, begins to bear fruit. More than 14 million iPads Apple has sold less than a year certify that no market for touch tablets. Although Google, somewhat disorderly, also wants its share of this market, HP’s bid is firm.

With front and rear camera only allows videoconferencing with the front. That is, the device is intended for use and management of documents, but not for media creativity.

The touchpad, of 725 grams and 9.7-inch screen, can easily switch from application to application, even among the most resource intensive like games in three dimensions.

An operating system (OS) is itself a computer program. However, it is a very special program, perhaps the most complex and important in a computer. The OS wakes up and makes the computer recognize the CPU, memory, do the key, the video system and disk drives.

It also provides the facility for users to communicate with the computer and serves as a platform from which to run application programs.

Known operating systems are:

1) TWO: The famous DOS, which stands for Disk Operating System (OS disk), better known by the names of PC-DOS and MS-DOS. MS-DOS was done by the software company Microsoft and is essentially the same OS that the PC-DOS.

The reason for its continued popularity is due to the overwhelming amount of software available and the installed base of computers with Intel processor.

When Intel released the 80286, DOS became so popular and strong in the market that DOS and DOS applications accounted for most of the PC software market. At that time, IBM compatibility was a need for products to succeed, and “IBM compatible” computers meant to run two computers as well as IBM did.

Even with the new operating systems that have flooded the market, DOS is still a strong contender in the OS war.

2) Windows 3.1: Microsoft made ??a decision, make an operating system that had a friendly graphical interface for the user, and as a result was Windows. This system displays on the screen icons that represent different files or programs, which can be accessed by double clicking them with the mouse pointer. All applications developed for Windows are similar, so it is very easy to learn to use new software once learned the basics.

3) Windows 95: In 1995, Microsoft introduced a new and improved version of Windows 3.1. Improvements include support this OS multitasking and 32-bit architecture, allowing applications to run best improve work efficiency.

4) Windows NT: This version of Windows specializes in networks and servers. With this OS can interact effectively between two or more computers.
