Ya, more information would be helpful\nWhat software, what operating system, etc.

An operating system is a computer program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer.\n\nThe kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems.\nThe difference is that Kernel is central to the OS, but there are also other components which help the kernel. ( Like observing the user input )

An operating system is a special computer program that manages the relationship between application software, the wide variety of hardware that makes up a computer system, and the user of the system.\n\nThe lowest level of any operating system is its kernel, the first layer of software loaded into computer memory when it starts up . As the first software layer, all other software that gets loaded after it depends on this kernel to provide them with various common core services. These services include, but are not limited to: disk access, memory management, task scheduling, and access to other computer hardware|hardware devices.\n\nThere are many types of operation systems, but Unix and Windows variants are the main types found on personal computers. \n\nSee the link below for more data.

To what operating system?

Windows NT is an operating system. It's software. You can't sue software. You can sue the company that made the software....

I guess it all depends on what you wish to use it for...\n\nI've had many different computers in my time, and by far the most impressive and one requiring the least maintenance has been any of the newer Apple machines with Mac OS X operating system, ie MacMini or iBook/iMac.\n\nThey're very compatible with Windows machines, MS Office is available, but so is OpenOffice which supports MS document formats if you wish to have a free alternative.\n\nOS X machines are also not susceptable to viruses or hacks in anywhere near the magnitude of Windows machines, so are far more stable and secure at present.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I love MS Windows & PCs, but Macs have really changed my perception of what a computer can be. \n\nHope this helps\nMJS

Well, they are both Operating Systems. Windows appears to be more user friendly due to it's Graphical User Interface (GUI).  Another thing, chances are most computer stuff you buy are going to be compatible to Windows than UNIX. BUT, if you learn UNIX you will probably never go back to Windows. UNIX is more powerful, reliable, safer, and many things can be done very fast with just a few commands. Yah, UNIX is that good!

'System software'... I'm still not understanding, but I'll assume you're talking about what versions of Windows there are I recall seeing:\n\nWindows 1.0\nWindows 3.1\nWindows 95\nWindows NT 3.0\nWindows 98\nWindows NT 4.0\nWindows ME\nWindows 98SE\nWindows 2000 (actually NT 5.0)\nWindows XP (actually NT 5.1)\nWindows Vista\n\nAnd before Windows there was MS-DOS 6.22 or something like that, which was required to be installed before you could run pre-98 versions of Windows.

I guess it matters how you measure the two. LINUX is a great operating system in many respects. It is more secure and gives you full control of what is installed, every process that runs, and every setting for your system. However, for most users, that level of control is unnecessary. Despite some wonderful advances in LINUX GUI options (Gnome etc.), Windows still has the more usable interface, and is easier to use for the average user.\n\nPersonally, I like OS X, which combines many of the best features of both LINUX and Windows. Actually, Windows has taken many of its features from Mac OS and OS X. Even the new Windows Vista incorporates many "new" features I have been using for a year now.
