Microsoft Student Associates Program #MSAIndia”.

Hai Everyone,
                        This is Natesanathan.K doing my Final year B.E., Computer Science in Anjalai Ammal Mahalingam Engineering College, Kovilvenni , Tiruvarur District.
           
             Here by i have to share some information or impacts about Microsoft which changes me in a great manner .In my childhood days till my higher secondary i didn't know any knowledge about windows even a computer but once i get it in to it which makes me a tremendous change to make me much interest of it to knowing all about it. In my past day I like to use MS paint to do some fun activities for just a entertainment work but later i had to knows that it not  entertainment one but will make a more effect to the computer world of designing.
                       The Microsoft had provided lot of different versions of Operating System which consists of unique properties respectively .The OS such as Windows7(professional, Ultimate),Vista, Windows Diamond, WindowsXp,Windows8,Windows8.1 all these are which makes the major changes to all who are in computer world. I have been used all these OS which helps me in learning more things in the computer world to do something innovatively and of thinking as much more to survive a lot.  
                  One of the great things about Working at Microsoft is having access to an incredible array of technologies that help us to get work done. And in the field of designing, imaging, movie making etc. which the windows played a wide role. In multimedia it helps me till my childhood days to do or think something different as i can in my life, which makes my people to get a lot of interest to knowing about it their carrier as i did till my days.
                   And i had learned about MS office which supported me all ways to survive in my studies as well as in my day to day life too. The MS Excel which is used to store record in a order and to maintain a efficient work of maintaining logs. The MS word which helps me in documentation process and even of preparing leave letter just a example to it. And the most important thing which plays a major role is preparing slides by using MS PowerPoint which helps to express the content easier to user as well as to the viewers through slides. It consists of lot of designing tools which makes the understating of contents easier than by books.    
                    There is lot of things to tell about Micr

osoft which changes my life in the computer world. And there is still more of innovating in the windows which could also make tremendous changes in the computer world. And they had introduced the Tabs and windows phones which had spreader all over the world in these days. All peoples are using Tabs for their comfort ability. And now days all people were using windows phones for conveniences and better use of bringing all features as it is in the computers.  And it consists of lot features supported by their logical and technical architecture to all the systems in these days which play a major role in human with the computer.  
                     In the future i would bring more use of it to my people of knowing these thing from their childhood days and make use of it to get well minded in it and to get a good scope in it to survive as more in the computer world along with Microsoft.

What is Linux?

What is Linux?

Linux is a high performance, yet completely free operating system that closely resembles UNIX. An operating system is the main software that operates on a computer.

UNIX was originally developed by Ken Thompson at Bell Labs, the legendary research arm of AT&T (the former U.S. telecommunications monopoly) in 1969 and was substantially improved at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) during the 1970s and 1980s. Many variations were subsequently developed, and they are collectively referred to as Unix-like operating systems. Unix-like operating systems are widely regarded as the best operating systems ever created in terms of several criteria, including stability, security, flexibility, scalability and elegance.

Linux was started in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, then a student at the University of Helsinki in Finland, because of his dissatisfaction with MS-DOS and his desire to obtain a free version of UNIX for his new computer. Linux quickly became a global project with programmers from around the world participating in its development via the Internet. Its performance has improved continuously, and this has been paralleled by the swift growth in its usage around the world by individuals, corporations, educational institutions and governments.

Linux is superior to other Unix-like operating systems in several respects. One is that it is completely free, in contrast to the costly proprietary (i.e., commercial) versions of UNIX. It is free both in a monetary sense (i.e., that it can be obtained by anybody at no cost) and in the sense that anyone is permitted to use it for any purpose (including making as many copies as desired for personal or business use, using it on any number of computers, modifying it in any way desired, giving away copies of the original or modified versions, and even selling such copies for a profit!). Software that is free in all of these senses is referred to as free software or open source software.

This freedom is made possible by the fact that Linux is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The GNU project was begun by Richard Stallman in 1983 for the purpose of developing a completely free, high performance, Unix-like operating system. It has provided many of the most critical utility programs for Linux, and thus it is sometimes suggested that the most appropriate name for Linux is GNU/Linux.

Another advantage of Linux is that it can operate on a much wider range of hardware than most other operating systems. It can run on notebook computers, desktop computers, workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, handheld devices (including some cell phones), game machines, industrial robots and even a wristwatch!

Microsoft Windows is still the most widely used family of computer operating systems. However, Linux offers also some important advantages over them, and thus its worldwide growth rate is much faster. These advantages include the facts tha  it is free, it is extremely stable (i.e., it rarely crashes),  it is highly resistant to computer viruses, spyware and other malware,  a large amount of high quality, completely free application programs are available for use on it and it can run on older computers that cannot accommodate the newer versions of Microsoft Windows. A more complete list of advantages can be found in the article 25 Reasons to Convert to Linux.
