What is DOS??

Microsoft
Apple does not get it yet. Gates
leased his OS to others, who made
inexpensive machines for the
masses. Apple did not. Gates is a
business man who likes computers,
Jobs is not up to par with Gates. The
best mousetrap does not always win
in the marketplace. And literacy plays
a large part.

Gates at the Bottom?....

When it comes to being a computer
whiz, appears Gates ranks at the
bottom. When it comes to a business
man, One might say Gates ranks at
the top. Microsoft has little innovation
relative to computer operating
systems, but when it comes to
business, some say there is no equal.

Time Magazine
Bill Gates comes under the Times Hero
and Icons Time speaks of the words
richest man and his many charities, but
nothing about innovation? But the Time
end the article Quote: focused,
immensely ambitious, scarily
determined, often amazingly prescient.
Sounds like a business man, not a
computer geek. What does prescient
mean?? knowing or anticipating the
outcome of events before they happen.

Similarities Between a Mac and

Windows
Both have the capacity of performing
similar tasks.
Both systems allow users to drag and
drop. It is just rarely used by Window
users.
Both have the text to audio and
command.

Similarities Continued
They both have or had the ability to
format floppy disks.
Windows and Mac are both used for
net browsing and searching.

Differences Between a Mac and

Windows
The Mac is more faster and has a
better quality then Windows.
Windows is more time consuming and
it takes more time for tasks to be
done.
With Mac there is more freedom in
the desktop then there is with
Windows, which has a confined
desktop.

Differences Continued
Macs are able to be forced to quit.
If a Macintosh user ever faces a
problem it is more likely that their
problem will get fixed more quickly
then a Windows user.
With Windows it is more likely to
deteriorate and slow down and
eventually crash.
