Operating Systems;

Microsoft Windows
  • Creator - Microsoft.
  • Faster start-up and hibernation sequences.
  • The ability to discard a newer device driver in favour of the previous one (known as driver rollback), should a driver upgrade not produce desirable results.
  • A new, arguably more user-friendly interface, including the framework for developing themes for the desktop environment.
  • Fast user switching, which allows a user to save the current state and open appli cations of their desktop and allow another user to log on without losing that information.
  • The ClearType font rendering mechanism, which is designed to improve text readability on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and similar monitors.
  • Remote Desktop functionality, which allows users to connect to a computer running Windows XP from across a network or the Internet and access their applications, files, printers, and devices.
  • Support for most DSL modems and wireless network connections, as well as networking over FireWire, and Bluetooth.


Mac OS X
  • Creator - Apple Inc.
  • Aqua GUI – A fluid graphical user interface with glass-like elements.
  • Automator – an application designed to create an automatic workflow for different tasks.
  • Dashboard – A full-screen group of small applications called desktop widgets that can be called up and dismissed in one keystroke.
  • Expose' – A feature which includes three functions to help accessibility between windows and desktop. Its functions are to instantly display all open windows as thumbnails for easy navigation to different tasks, display all open windows as thumbnails from the current application, and hide all windows to access the desktop.
  • Finder – A file browser allowing quick access to all areas of the computer ( modified throughout subsequent releases). (The Finder found in Mac OS X Jaguar had been criticized by John Siracusa for violating the concept of spatial inference.)
    • Quick look allows dynamic previews of files (including videos and multi-page documents) without opening their parent applications.
    • Spotlight search technology allows rapid real-time searches of data files, mail messages, photos, and other information, based on item properties (meta data) and/or content.
  • FileVault – Optional encryption of the user's files with Advanced encryption Standard (AES).
  • Front Row – A media viewer interface accessed by the Apple Remote.
  • Global application services – spell checker, special characters palette, color picker, font chooser and dictionary.
  • Integrated Sync Services – A system which allows applications to access a centralized extensible database for various elements of user data, including calendar and contact items. The operating system manages conflicting edits and data consistency.
  • Spaces – Desktop organization tool which can create and manage multiple virtual desktops and display them in an Exposé-like interface.
  • Cover Flow – is a three-dimensional graphical user interface included with iTunes, the Finder, and other Apple Inc. products for visually skimming through files and digital media libraries via cover artwork.
  • Time Machine – Automatic backup technology that allows users to view and restore previous versions of files and application data
