Project: Exploring and Comparing Operating Systems

Project Objective
To explore and compare different operating systems across various devices. Focus
on primary operating systems (such as Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux)
and compare two similar OS versions (such as Windows 10 vs. Windows 11).
Research specific features and how different OS handle them.

Project Tasks:
Step 1: Research the OS of Your Choice
(a) Target Devices: Identify the types of devices that typically use this OS
(desktop, mobile, embedded systems).

(b) Core Functionalities: Investigate how the OS handles memory
management, CPU scheduling, process management, and security.
(c) User Interface: Examine how the OS presents information and allows
users to interact with the system.
(d) Strengths and Weaknesses: Analyse the main advantages and
disadvantages of this OS compared to others.

Step 2: Specific Feature Comparison
Choose a specific feature (such as security measures, virtual assistants) and
compare how different OS handle it.

Project Deliverables
Write a five-page individual report summarizing what you have learned and the
insights gained from the project.
