Differences between operating system and open operating system?
there are many type of open source operating system like Linux which provide their source code so you may edit it according to your need.but window is not give their source code.
Android mobile OS is a Linux-based open sourced operating system from Google. It's mainly in touchscreen devices (smartphones, tablets), but is venturing into the laptop space.
Why is it that today's operating systems don't address peripheral devices directly?
Installable device drivers allow the OS to support new devices without updating the OS.
The operating system is the one program running at all times on the computer which is called?
Operating System's kernel
yes
What kind of operating system does the 3ds have?
It doesn't run on Windows or Mac if that's what you're asking. It's it's own operating system, just like everything that isn't a computer.
What is the best computer system for operating multiple ecommerce websites?
I use Systemax for working with my website... I've had better luck performance wise with Systemax than I did with Dell.
System view of an operating system?
System View is a snap-in that lets you view what the computer is doing in real time.
GUI (graphical user interface)

Are operating systems for tablets and smartphones different?
Operating systems for tablets and smartphones are very similar. The tablets are usually able to handle more processing, so they can handle some apps that a phone cannot.
Distributed computing:
Following are the proper operating systems for implementing distributed computing.
Multiprocessor systems: A multiprocessor system is simply a computer that has more than one CPU on its motherboard. If the operating system is built to take advantage of this, it can run different processes (or different threads belonging to the same process) on different CPUs. Over the years, many different multiprocessing options have been explored for use in distributed computing. Intel CPUs from the late Pentium 4 era (Northwood and Prescott cores) employed a technology called Hyperthreading that allowed more than one thread (usually two) to run on the same CPU. The most recent Sun UltraSPARC T1, AMD Athlog 64 X2, AMD Athlon FX, Intel Pentium D and Intel Conroe processors feature multiple processor cores to also increase the number of concurrent threads they can run.
Multicomputer Systems: A multicomputer system is a system made up of several independent computers interconnected by a telecommunications network. Multicomputer systems can be homogeneous or heterogeneous: A homogeneous distributed system is one where all CPUs are similar and are connected by a single type of network. They are often used for parallel computing. A heterogeneous distributed system is made up of different kinds of computers, possibly with vastly differing memory sizes, processing power and even basic underlying architecture. They are in widespread use today, with many companies adopting this architecture due to the speed with which hardware goes obsolete and the cost of upgrading a whole system simultaneously.
Multimedia Development:
Multimedia development requires powerful development platforms running with operating systems that are suited to the development task. Macintosh OS is the suitable for multimedia development. On the Macintosh side, Apple's absolute control results in greater ease for users who must integrate additional functionality into this environment. On the downside, a smaller installed base has given rise to fewer hardware and software options that often bring higher prices than are usually seen on PC-compatible products.
Database management:
Database management system is easily operable with most of the OS. Database management is supported for windows, Linux, Unix platform etc. Several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management, and interprocess communication; and consistency control. Most of the OS meets with above all services. So database management can be done with most of the OS.
What is the difference between system software and operating systems?
You would use an operating system on your pc/laptop to run all the processes and manage all the hardware and resources contained in your unit, also to manage the applications you have installed there.. whereas you would have system software or application software to sit on top of your OS to manage you day to day emailing, word processing, faxing, photos, music downloads etc...
What information is contained in a process table within an operating system?
Different data is contained in the process table:

Just go to menu
view>>zoom
Why is important to know what operating system you are using?
Because, if you wanted to get some software, for example, you need to make sure that it will be compatible with your Operating system and how it reads programs and things, therefore you need to know which Operating System you have.
Also, if you need to fix something or you want to change something in your settings; Knowing your OS will help, as you can specify it in Google when looking for help to do the task, which will narrow down the results to give you the best answer.
What are the operating system compatible for dual operating system?
All the OS are compatible with dual OS.but here i will suggest you keep it parallel.
