History of Windows

During my research on Windows I came across a great wiki on the Wikipedia web site.It goes through the history of Microsoft Windows . Windows was announced in 1983 , nearly 30 years ago , and is still the worlds standard computer operating system in the world . The Windows family consists of many operating systems starting with Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, nt 3.1, 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Server 2003, Vista, and last but not least windows 7. Many Years have made the company what it is and what it has accomplished today. Not all of these operating systems were perfect, as a matter of fact lots of them were complete dump, the latest being Windows Vista. The history of the Windows products is vastly interesting to any one interested and if you would like to read about it the URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Windows

tablets

Not being the biggest apple fan in the world I do have to give them some credit where it is due, the Ipad. In my opinion the Ipad , for the time being , blows the competition out of the water. with sales in 2011 reaching 40 million its easy to see that they have the tablet market on lock down. One of Apples most determined competitors in the tablet market the Motorola Xoom was only expecting sales to be between 1.3 million units to 1.5 million. With more companies competing to be on top of the tablet market we are seeing a vast variety of tablets to reach the market companies like Amazon , Sony , Dell, and many more diving head first into tablets who knows what the near future has in store for us.

range of games

PCs have a considerably larger library of games available than Mac computers due to the PCs traditional use as a gaming machine. Many computer games are release for Mac much later than they are released for PC, or they are not released for Mac at all. Mac computers with a custom form factor, such as the iMac or the Mac mini, also do not have upgradeable processors or graphics cards which is most vital for gaming performance, are not upgradable . As of February 2011, the Mac Pro is the only Mac computer than can upgrade these components and add other new components using PCI slots.windows based pc's on the other hand are capable of upgrading almost ant component in the tower, upgrades such as crossfireX which allow the user to run two video cards at once  make the windows based pc much more apt for video gamers world wide.
