Why do we use the Operating Systems we use? [part 1]

As an IT geek, I get to use and develop with lots of different OS's.  and I think that gives me some perspective on some things.

some people get pretty defensive about the OS they use. and some just use what's in front of them. Most people want there Computer to just work,

and they want there devices to just work when they connect them to there computer.

 

what makes someone a "Mac user" or a "Windows user" or even a "Linux user"?

 

I think really it is a combination of things, that determine what a person is....

 

There are factors like the following:

• First computers use and trained on.
• Computer used at work.
• software used.
• hobbies.

I think there are more, and maybe even sub category's of those. but thats a good start.  People also want access to all there data and there software. so, people tend to gravitate toward the OS that seems to suit them, or that they 'like" and fits.

 

also, within IT companys use all sorts of OS's for many reasons. I like to say, "use the best tool for the job".  and in that companys are expaning into using

more OS's in there data centers. and intergrating them all.

 

 

thats all for now more later
