INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, computer is one of the most important tools that needed by the society to
do some activities of their daily live. It can be in form of personal computers, cell phone, or
even workstation. It has been a crucial part of the society since its development always brings
something new that help the society to do their job easier.
Everyone use computer. Man or women, children or adult, students or employees.
Everyone has been hanging to the computer to do their job. The jobs that they have to do each
day are getting easier since they get so many aids from the computer. One of the jobs that get
so many help from the development of computer is financial related jobs, which one of them
is accountant.
Accountants get many help from the computer since they no longer need to make each
journal and financial statement manually. They just need to enter the value of the transaction
and the computer will make the journal and financial statement for them. And finally they
only need to evaluate it or give some comment related to the journal and financial statement
that have been made. But is it the computer that makes those journal and financial statement
for the accountant? No, it is not. The thing that helps the accountant to do their job is called
operating system.
Operating system is the system that manages computer hardware and software
resources and provides common services for computer programs. It is the most important
program that runs on the computer. The operating system is the component of system
software in a computer system.
Every general purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs
and applications, since application program usually require an operating system to function.
Operating system perform basic task, such as recognizing input from keyboard,
sending output to the display screen, keeping track on files, and directories on the disk, and
controlling peripheral device such as disk drive and printers. For larger systems, the operating
system has even greater responsibilities and powers.
As the time goes by, the kinds of programming system keep increasing. A new
programming system appears almost every year. It can be from the existed brand or even
from a new brand. Here are some brands of operating system:
1. Windows
2. Unix
3. Novell
4. Mac OS X – Macintosh
5. LINUX
Among those brands, there are two brands that widely known by the customers and
keep compete each other’s. They always give a new development for the customers to show
that they are better than the others. And those two brands are Windows and LINUX.
CONCLUSION
From the table above, we can see that each operating system have their own
advantages and disadvantages. Each operating system has good side and the side that they are
lack of. It shows that each operating system is still trying to develop their self to make a
better operating system that can help the brain ware/customers to finish their job, especially
accountant.
We can say that there are none of these operating system that can be titled better than
the others. And the accountant have their own right to choose which operating system that is
better for them to help them done their job.
