Most of us have a computer at home and we use it a lot nowadays but maybe what you didn’t know i’ts that every computer has a operative system and that several operative systems have been created over the years trying to satisfy the different needs of the peolpe that use a computer.
The Operative system (OS) is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every computer must have an operating system in order to run other programs, we have several operative systems. One of the most popular we have is Microsoft Windows, we all learned how to use a computer with this operative system is the most common one here in Mexico but not the only one.

I like linux way better then windows because I like how the windows of websites are display and all of the 3D effects that you can do to personalize on your desktop, but the thing is that for me I think is going to be a little more complicated to get to use linux the reason is because it seems like more complex it’s too much technology for me.

I disagree with you because for me Windows is not easy to use and the reason why many people use it is because most of the companies that make computers (Sony, Toshiba, Dell, etc.)come with that system and we can´t choose between OS.

I think the same as Adam about the use of Windows. Maybe in the future I will try MacOS, it could be expesnive but could worth it !
