I have been through almost every operating system in the digital world computer, gaming and mobile. Each system was created with a specific purpose: in the beginning we got gaming the so called Atari exclusively for gaming using our TV as a monitor. Then the personal computers came to the picture with apple system OS named later MAC OS. Windows came to the picture as the competition to MAC OS. All computer manufacturers took Windows since MAC OS was exclusive to Apple. Windows came as a multipurpose tool individual, students, business. MAC OS on the other end devoted all their attention to the world of graphics which end up as a leader. Until then the access to the operating system was only to who could afford it. Linux came to the picture to the access of anyone as a descendant of Unix a very high end OS only available to the business world. Its not only until a few years ago that we are seeing computer previously loaded with Ubuntu a very popular Linux version.
The explosion of the mobile world brought different operating system as it was developing. The first cellphones were using Java for accessing the internet. Most brands of phones started using their own operating system of at least their own version. Palm came up with its own operating system for the business world for organizing. MP3 players arrived as an alternative to CD players. People and mostly the business world started pushing for to unify into one all these devices. The smartphone was the answer to all needs. Known brands push in their operating systems: Windows Mobile, apple OS, Blackberry, Nokia and Google Android.
The mobile world became so popular specially the smartphones that almost takes place of the computers. The most popular operating systems Windows, Apple OS, Ubuntu took the endeavor to be compatible on computers and mobile devices.
I ask myself which one is the Operating System of the future all around. Can it be Windows after so many years of failures and goods? Can it be APPLE OS after being almost a perfect OS and now they decided to imitate WINDOWS? Can it be UBUNTU after reaching a nice process of development? Can it be ANDROID after dominating the mobile world but it has not reach the computer world? And lastly can it be CHROME OS that its already loaded on a few computers and maybe take the place of ANDROID in the mobile devices?
Give me your comments and let's discuss it the next post.
