Windows vs. MAC vs. Linux 2
As the computer industry advanced so much and it has more complexities, Operating System responsibilities has increased, and give challenge to the operating system developers to build a secure operating system. In this paper we will se operating system security issues computer industry has faced in desktop and mobile area. And we are proposing a general idea to improve all operating systems for security.

This paper presents a comparative study of choosing footstep of Windows, Linux and Mac, the three popular operating systems. This paper provides seven factors which needed to be considered before choosing an operating system. They are convenience, capability, security, interface, recovery, booting time and cost. These seven factors were generated from background study and analysis. Some important characteristics such as dependency upon hardware, user interface, and security are also discussed. Moreover, opensource and closed source paradigm were discussed for user support. Finally, based on user data, it has been shown how these three operating systems are used by users in the last couple of years.

Operating systems are vital system software that, without them, humans would not be able to manage and use computer systems. In essence, an operating system is a collection of software programs whose role is to manage computer resources and provide an interface for client applications to interact with the different computer hardware. Most of the commercial operating systems available today on the market have buggy code and they exhibit security flaws and vulnerabilities. In effect, building a trusted operating system that can mostly resist attacks and provide a secure computing environment to protect the important assets of a computer is the goal of every operating system manufacturer. This paper deeply investigates the various security features of the two most widespread and successful operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Linux. The different security features, designs, and components of the two systems are to be covered elaborately, pin-pointing the key similarities and differences between them. In due course, a head-to-head comparison is to be drawn for each security aspect, exposing the advantage of one system over the other.
