Why change from one operating system to another operating system?
New operating systems are theoretically improvements over the older versions.They're supposed to run better and faster,...but if you're happy with the one you have and it works well, there's no reason to change.Older versions may no longer be supported by the OS Company, yet crackers are still finding new ways to subvert the code and hijack your computer.You may want to improve the computer without buying new hardware.Some desired "application software" may not run on the old OS.One may want more advanced hardware, but it is not "backward compatible" with the original OS.

What is os strategies in operating system?
Strategies in this class address the problem of achieving commonality at the operating system interface. Again there are three approaches, which correspond to the three principal techniques:STANDARD OPERATING SYSTEM INTERFACESWe may achieve portability in part by use of a standard model for the facilities provided, and a standard format for the system calls which access system services.PORTABLE OPERATING SYSTEMSWe may port or retarget the operating system to the new environment (if all users agree to give up the old OS).INTERFACE TRANSLATIONA bridge library may be used to translate the API presented by the OS into the form expected by the ported software.
What is the difference between a network operating system and a client operating system?
Network Operating system or NOS is an OS that allows a system to connect to a network. Such as Novell and Artisoft's LANtastic. In the old days of DOS networking was not a function of the Client OS, you have to also load the NOS to get connected. Now that most Client OS's imbed network connectivity the term is now seldom used.
What happen if operating system is not installed in computer system?
The computer starts but will not do anything useful. The Operating System is what creates any user interface. when you start up your PC in your BIOS there is a boot sequence normally it will check for something to boot from out of the HD first (in some cases it will look at the floppy drive first...usually on really old machines) if it doesn't find anything in the Hard Drive(aka your OS) it will follow the boot sequence until it finds something to boot from if it doesn't find anything to boot from (such as a live CD) then it will display something along the lines of "error: boot device not found"...i hope that answers your question (by the way you can change the boot seq in your BIOs if you were thinking about installing a new OS)

How does one uninstall Windows Vista?
When it comes to operating systems, it is a better approach to install a new system over the old installation instead of uninstalling the old one. In this case it seems Windows Vista is not desired. Find out which operating system shall replace Vista, and install this over Vista. The old installation of Windows Vista is erased in the process of installing the new system, so there is no need to uninstall. Before a new installation, always make sure to make copies of any important files on the computer to external storage mediums, as they will disappear from the computer along with Vista. Regarding how to install a new system: Clear instructions always come with a legitimate purchase of an operating system. Simply follow the manual.

What is C plus language importance computer?
All computers need a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do and how to do it. These instructions are called the operating system. Many different brands of computers exist made in many different ways. At one time, each one had its own operating system. In fact, some manufacturers created operating systems for each model of computer. Still, it was possible for some people to go in and change these operating systems and even replace them. Then someone developed the C language. It was soon discovered that C language could create an operating system that could be used on different computers. When someone wants to write a driver for a printer, he writes it using the C language. He can add one or two instructions for a particular brand of computer and it will work. Thus, the operating system for the printer is written in C. (The problem comes when you have a old printer and a new computer. The printer company is not going to hire a programmer to write code to send out free updates to make their old printer work on your new computer. They want you to buy a new printer!)
