Q.1
Compare and contrast a version of Linux/Mac OS with windows or two mobile phones for
usability.
- Analysis must be based on your personal experience.
- Give your criteria for comparison in terms of Design and Usability.
Essential contrast and history:
Windows was first delivered in 1985. It should be a graphical UI on top of MS-DOS. All
highlights of MS-DOS were later incorporated with Windows 95 delivery. It was a colossal
achievement in and prompted the Windows transition.
Mac working framework from Apple stands more seasoned than Windows. It was first delivered
in 1984. It started as a graphical UI directly from its beginning. In 2005 the plan and structure of
MAC OS were changed to Intel x86 based architecture. It was at first evolved in Finnish
University.
Record structure:
Windows follows a registry structure to store the various types of documents of the client. It has
intelligent drives and bureau drawers. It likewise has envelopes. Some basic organizers like
records, pictures, music, recordings, and downloads. Every one of these documents can be put
away in these organizers and furthermore, new envelopes can be made. It likewise has records
which can be a bookkeeping page or an application program. It can have augmentations
as .txt, .jpg and so forth Notwithstanding this Windows additionally gives reuse container where
all erased records can be put away. Reuse containers can be arranged to build its size.
Mac The document structure of MAC is generally known as MAC OS X. On the off chance that
you go to dive into your MAC's hard circle through locater, you will see numerous indexes. The
root index of MAC may experience when they visit their own MAC book. You can investigate
the document framework and registry structure by going to registries like/Application,
/Developer,/sbin,/tmp, etc. Linux has a totally unique record structure Windows and MAC.
Windows Registry Windows library is an expert information base that is utilized to store all
settings on your PC. It is mindful to store all client data with its passwords and gadget relate
data. The library additionally has a manager that permits you to see all keys and values or even
drivers if necessary.
Mac stores all application settings in a progression of .plist documents which have the different
inclinations organizer in MAC. This .plist document contains all properties in either plain
content or parallel arrangement. These are put away at:
/Library/Preferences organizer
Tradable Interfaces:
Windows interface was not compatible until Windows 8. Windows XP had a few upgrades yet
not standard. Start menu, taskbar, framework plate, and Windows Explorer.
MAC has an office to connect virtual organization interfaces. This should be possible by going
to framework inclinations and dealing with the interfaces. Linux is anything but difficult to
switch interfaces. You can switch the climate without conveying all establishments.
Order terminal:
Windows A terminal or order brief is a black box unmistakably used to execute orders. It is
additionally called the Windows Command Processor. It is utilized to execute orders and diverse
clump records. It can likewise be utilized for regulatory capacities and investigate and settle all
windows issues.
Mac gives a reassuring as a terminal application. It has a comfort, order line, brief, and terminal.
An order line is utilized to type your orders. The brief will furnish you with some data and
furthermore empower you to run orders.
Ultimately, we should talk Windows. Windows experienced an unpleasant period during its
Windows 8 age. Microsoft eliminated the Start menu, driving clients to depend on signals to
discover highlights and dispatch applications. Microsoft likewise presented a restricted rendition
of Windows called Windows RT, which just permitted Windows Store applications and didn't
run on the Intel stage.
Likewise: Next for Windows 10: What to anticipate from the May 2019 Update
After three years, in 2015, Microsoft presented Windows 10, a generously improved variant of
Windows that restored the Start menu. Microsoft improved the UI, smoothed out a significant
number of the settings, and wiped out the odd irregularities that had frequented Windows 8.
Windows 10, which has had some generous interval overhauls, is a really solid Windows
discharge.
By most records, Windows runs on about 90% of PCs around the world, with work area Linux
utilization representing an extremely low single digit level of use and MacOS making up the
rest. In created markets like the US, the Mac rate is significantly higher, at around 20%. Yet,
corporate use, except for certain organizations like IBM, is practically all Windows. For the vast
majority, Windows is the default decision.
We can't talk about MacOS without examining Macintoshes. The two go together. While
Windows can run on a large number of various machines from many various merchants, MacOS
is appropriated by Apple to run exclusively on Apple equipment. There is a little, courageous
gathering of Mackintosh manufacturers who source Macintosh viable equipment and construct
their own frameworks, yet they're anomalies, and the way toward building a Mackintosh takes
some work.
A typical confusion about Macintosh equipment is that it's more costly than equal PC equipment.
Indeed, that is false. On the off chance that you look at spec-for-spec Mac equipment against the
identical debut PC equipment like the Microsoft Surface Book or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1
Carbon, you'll see that the valuing is comparative. At the point when I thought about an
exceptionally prepared 2018 Mac little against accessible PC parts, I couldn't source a PC with
anyplace close to the capacity and size of the Mac smaller than normal.
Where PCs are less expensive is the point at which you're not seeing brand-name or spec-for-
spec correlations. You can totally get less expensive PCs and work areas for Windows than
Macs. Also, in case you're willing to penance Mac's amazing plan and go for a conventional
pinnacle Windows PC, you can by and large get more execution for the dollar.
Despite the fact that the upfront investment cost for Apple equipment is frequently more costly,
many have discovered that the general expense of responsibility for the lifetime of the
framework is more affordable with Macs. IBM did an investigation before the organization chose
to normalize on Macs.
Q.2
Compare and contrast two versions of windows. e.g., XP vs Win8 in terms of usability.
- You must discuss various interaction styles available in these versions.
- Give at least two examples of ergonomics in each.
Windows XP, running on the 7-year-old laptop is noticeably inferior to the performance of fresh
Windows 8.
"According to an unwritten law, the system requirements are growing software from version to
version. However, in the case of Windows 8, this pattern has been broken. I found that "eight" is
faster than Windows XP, even on older hardware platform, "- written by experts in their own
blog.
With the opening of Word documents and PDF Windows 8 mastered in 3.4 seconds, and XP
spent to perform these operations 4.3 and 2.8 seconds respectively. Another challenge was
indicative download heavy files Photoshop. "Eight" fitted within just 16.5 seconds, 2.5 times
ahead of her rival, whose result was 41.5 seconds. Finally, in the Pass Mark test new operating
system Windows 8 scored 407.5 points, and Windows XP showed a more modest result - 356.5
points.
- interaction styles
Interaction Styles - Menu-Based Interface
Menu-driven interfaces present users with sequential hierarchal menus that offer lists of
functions.
– Textual: key-in number of options
– Graphical: use arrow keys or pointing device
Interaction Styles - Form Fill-In
Similar to menu interfaces – present screens of information
Different than menu interfaces - used to capture information and proceed linearly not to navigate
a hierarchical structure
Forms can be presented using
– Single scrolling screens
– Multiple linked pages
Form elements must be grouped logically Include “You Are Here” indications.
Interaction Styles – Metaphors
GUIs use visual relationships to real-world objects (metaphors). Metaphors can help people
relate to complex concepts and procedures by drawing on RealWorld knowledge. Real-world
affordances can be reflected. A metaphor’s function must be consistent with real-world
expectations. Metaphors that do not behave the way people expect will cause confusion and
frustration.
- Give at least two examples of ergonomics in each.
Stretchy is an open-source app that reminds you to take a break from your computer.
Care Eyes is an app designed to give your eyes a break with a blue light filter, screen dimmer,
and a break reminder.
Daily Partner helps you to efficiently perform some of your daily activities via voice-command.
