Computer Software Computer Software Chapter 3 of book... Computer Software ● Software consists of electronic instructions to tell computer how to perform desired task – Software can come on a CD, disk, or off the internet, among other forms ● Software can be classified as either system software or application software Application Software ● Software that user typically interacts with – Developed to perform a particular task for users (rather than the computer itself) – Includes Word Processing, spreadsheets, games – Examples are Microsoft Word and World of Warcraft System Software ● Allows application software to interact with computer and perform desired task for user ● Helps computer manage resources ● Basic components of system software – Operating systems – Device Drivers – Utility Programs Operating System ● Principle component of system software in computing system ● Every general-purpose computer must have operating system in order to run other programs ● Allows user to focus on own tasks rather than managing computer ● Popular operating systems include Windows, Linux, Macintosh OS Operating System ● Kernel/supervisor – central component of most operating systems – Provides communication between hardware and software components of computer – Kernel provides “abstraction layer” for the computer hardware (CPU, memory, devices) ● Application software can be written without knowing the details of the particular CPU/memory/devices, only needs to know how to interact with the kernel – Without a kernel, application software would be significantly more difficult to design Operating System ● Operating system tasks include – Booting ● Process of loading the operating system into a computer's main memory – CPU Management ● Performed by kernel that remains in memory – File Management ● Operating system must know location of saved files – Task Management ● Computer may need to perform word processing and play music at the same time – Security Management ● Password options for system/file access Operating Systems ● Multiple options ● Platform – processor model and operating system where computer system based – Examples are “Mac Platform”, “Windows Platform”, “PC Platform”, as well as Solaris and others Operating Systems ● Legacy systems – Older, may be outdated, but still functional – Still used rather than upgrading for some reason ● System works, so no reason for changing ● Maybe more expensive to upgrade rather than maintain current system ● System must always be available, complicates upgrading ● Way system works not understood (designers may have left company) – The DOS operating system is an important legacy system The DOS operating system ● DOS stands for Disk Operating System – Initially released as PC-DOS in 1982 – Licensed by Microsoft to other computer makers as MS- DOS – Original operating produced by Microsoft – Used a command-driver interface rather than a graphical user interface – Earlier versions of Windows built on top of DOS – Main uses of DOS today are running classic DOS games, running business software that only supports DOS, and supporting embedded DOS systems such as a computerized cash register The DOS operating system Startup sequence of FreeDOS Describes itself as a “free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM- PC compatible systems” Macintosh Operating System ● Launched in 1984 – Super Bowl commercial introduced the Macintosh; ad introduced by Steve Jobs in flip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSiQA6KKyJo – Introductions to the Mac by Steve Jobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0FtgZNOD44 ● Used a graphical user interface (GUI) – Interface based on work done at Xerox, which based work on research at Stanford Research Institute – Eventually inspired Microsoft to upgrade from DOS to a system that used a GUI From Newsweek article about Mac: Macintosh Operating System ● Today, Mac is popular in desktop publishing and many educational settings – Some specialized applications only written in Windows ● Apple computers began using Intel processors in mid-2005 – Possible to run Windows on a Mac computer with an Intel processor Apple and Microsoft...together ● 1983 event with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVtxEA7AEHg Microsoft Windows ● Original purpose was to make DOS more user-friendly – Early versions of Windows served as an “interface” for DOS – Windows began with introduction of “Interface Manager” project in 1981 – Windows 1.0 released in November 1985 – Windows 2.0 released in November 1987 – Windows 3.0 released in May 1990 – Didn't become that popular until 1992 with Windows 3.1 (according to book...Wikipedia says that Windows 3.0 was successful...) – What came after Windows 3.1? Microsoft Windows 1.0 ● Released in November 1985 ● “Commercial” (maybe...) for Windows 1.0 by Steve Ballmer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk ● Screenshot of Windows 1.0 No overlapping windows, could move windows around “like a jigsaw puzzle” (why?) Microsoft Windows 2.0 ● Released in November 1987 ● Had overlapping windows ● Introduced terminology of “minimize” and “maximize” as opposed to “iconize” and “zoom” Lawsuit: Apple vs. Microsoft ● Apple sued Microsoft over interface ● Full name is Apple Computer Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation, 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994) – Lawsuit was filed in 1988 – Lasted four years – Decision “affirmed on appeal” in 1994 – Appealed to Supreme Court; DENIED – Who won? Lawsuit: Apple vs. Microsoft ● Apple claimed that “look and feel” of the Macintosh operating system protected by copyright – Apple claimed that sum of elements more important than each individual element of OS – Judge insisted on analysis of specific GUI elements – Apple came up with list of 189 GUI elements – Judge determined that 179 had been licensed to Microsoft in Windows 1.0 agreement – Other 10 were either unoriginal to Apple or were the only possible way of expressing a particular idea – Court avoided a far reaching “look and feel” copyright ruling by basing ruling on license Apple and Microsoft for Windows 1.0, which wasn't what Apple wanted... Related Weird Al song... ● I'll Sue Ya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfO9JUNXN7U Other tech-related lawsuits Nintendo vs. Atari Sega vs. Accolade Windows 3.0 ● Windows 3.0 released on May 22, 1990 – First widely successful version of Windows – Significantly changed user interface from Windows 2.0 – Technical improvement made for better memory management with Intel's 80286 and 80386 processors – Included both Reversi and the Solitaire card game Windows 3.1 ● Windows 3.1 – Released on March 18, 1992 – Includes TrueType font system, made windows a serious desktop publishing platform – Included Minesweeper rather than Reversi... Windows 95 ● Intended to integrate previous separate MS-DOS and Windows products ● Make a number of significant changes to interface, including introduction of taskbar at the bottom on the screen ● Introduced with great fanfare – Commercial featuring Rolling Stones song “Start Me Up”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VPFKnBYOSI – Cyber sitcom with Matthew Perry and Jenifer Aniston: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GWQgb015Lc ● Was the most successful operating system ever up to that point in terms of sales Windows 95 Familiar screenshot... Windows after Windows 95 ● Windows 95 followed by – Windows 98 – Windows ME – Windows XP – Windows Vista – When is Windows 7 coming out? ● General GUI interface introduced with Windows 95 used in all future editions Windows 7 ● Slated for retail release on October 22, 2009 – Focus appears to be on ease of use and performance rather than on “razzle-dazzle” graphics ● Gates has stated that Windows 7 would be more “user-centric” and also would focus on performance improvements ● Microsoft announced that it was using new tracing tools in the development of Windows 7 to measure the performance of the OS in order to locate and then fix inefficient code – According to Wikipedia “Figures released by Amazon.com suggest that sales of Windows 7 during the first eight hours of the pre-order period have already exceeded those of Windows Vista during its 17-week pre-order period” From official Windows 7 site: Note the stress on simplification and ease of use Anyone planning on getting Windows 7? What about a “free” operating system? ● Is there one available? ● GNU (stands for GNU's Not Unix) project began in 1983 with the goal of creating a free operating system – Almost enough available free software available by early 1990s to create full operating system – HOWEVER, there is no free kernel available considered “good enough” to develop a free operating system to compete with Mac and Windows Linux ● Open-source operating system – Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 – Wanted to use the functions of his new PC with an 80386 processor – Wrote program in order to do so to be “independent of an operating system” – Eventually released that he had written kernel for an operating system ● Has since said that if a GNU kernel had been around, he would not have written his own Linux ● Wrote the following to the newsgroup comp.os.minix: Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that

  • Introduction to MS-DOS
    1.Introduction to MS-DOS : MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) was the Microsoft-marketed version of the first widely-installed operating system in personal computers. It was essentially the same operating system that (Bill Gates's) young company developed for IBM as Personal Computer - Disk Operating System in 1981. Most users of either DOS system simply referred to their system as Disk Operating System. Like PC-DOS, MS-DOS was (and still is) a non-graphical line-oriented command- driven operating system, with a relatively simple interface but not overly "friendly" user interface. Its prompt to enter a command looks like this: C:\> MS-DOS does not care about anything called an icon, wallpaper or screen saver. Rather than being considered as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) MS-DOS is what is known as a command-line interface. You type commands on what is called the command line. MS-DOS is a single-user, single-tasking computer operating system. In spite of its very small size and relative simplicity, it is one of the most successful operating systems that has been developed to date. In DOS, a file name consists of eight character followed by a 3 character file extension. The size of a file is restricted to a 4 byte file descriptor, which limits a file’s maximum size to approximately 4 billion characters. The first release of DOS could not read or write to disk drives so users could only read and write to a floppy disc. DOS was not a state of the art operating system, even for its time.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.
