3 Suppose you are building a computer system from scratch and have complete discretion as to your choice of operating system. Which one would you install and why?
4. Which environment do you think is better for consumers: to have companies develop smaller, more inexpensive operating systems and then allow competing companies to develop and market utility programs, or to have very large full-featured operating systems that include most utilities as part of the operating system itself? Do you think that including utility programs with the operating system makes the cost of the operating system higher?
I would, and do, choose Windows, even though it is not perfect.
As for your last question, whatever business model produces more money will survive. The first one may produce better software and provide more flexibility, but the second one will decrease the overall price, because you don’t have dozens of utilities to buy along with the O/S.
