Unit 1 IT (Personal Computer Fundamentals Course)

Windows vs Mac OS

Apple’s Mac OS is a major competitor for Microsoft Windows, and many people feel very strongly about choosing one over the other. Some people also prefer to use Unix OS or Linux OS because both are open-source products (free to use and customize). For this assignment, locate articles online that discuss the differences between the four operating systems, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix, and Linux. You may discuss any recent versions of either operating system. Compare and contrast the four operating systems and provide arguments for choosing one of them: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix or Linux. Your paper should be a minimum of one page and in APA format. Use your own words and be sure to cite your sources – you should have at least one scholarly source from the CSU online library. Page count does not include Title or References pages.
