RESEARCH TOPIC FOR TODAY... LINUX!

"Linux (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʌks/) is an umbrella term that refers to Unix-like computer operating systems that are built on the Linux kernel. A Linux-based system used in conjunction with GNU system utilities and libraries is sometimes referred to as GNU/Linux."- Wiki.

Redhat Linux-"Red Hat Linux was a popular Linux distribution assembled by Red Hat until the early 2000s, when it was discontinued.
It is one of the "middle-aged" Linux distributions; 1.0 was released in November 3, 1994. It is not as old as Slackware, but certainly older than many other distributions. It was the first Linux distribution to use RPM as its packaging format, and over time has served as the starting point for several other distributions, such as the desktop-oriented Mandriva Linux (originally Red Hat Linux with KDE), Yellow Dog Linux (which started from Red Hat Linux with PowerPC support), and ASPLinux (Red Hat Linux with better non-Latin character support).
Since 2003, Red Hat has discontinued the Red Hat Linux line in favor of its new Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise environments and Fedora Core for the free version. Red Hat Linux 9, the final release, hit its official end-of-life on April 30, 2004, although the Fedora Legacy project continues to publish updates." -Wiki.

RESEARCH FOR TODAY: New Windows Operating System... Windows Vista!
"Windows Vista is the name of the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Vista was known by its codename Longhorn.[1] On November 8, 2006, Windows Vista development was completed and is now in the release to manufacturing stage. Some editions were available to volume license customers, MSDN and TechNet subscribers through November 2006.;[2] Microsoft has stated that the scheduled release date for worldwide availability is January 30, 2007.[3] These release dates come more than five years after the release of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span between major releases of Windows."- Wiki.

GUI

"The graphical user interface, or "GUI" (IPA: [ˈɡuːi]), is a computer interface that uses graphic icons and controls in addition to text. The user of the computer utilizes a pointing device, like a mouse, to manipulate these icons and controls. This is considerably different from the command line interface in which the user types a series of text commands to the computer."-Wiki.

Apple Vs. micorsoft-"Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994) was a copyright infringement lawsuit in which Apple Computer sought to prevent Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard from using visual graphical user interface (GUI) elements that were similar to those in Apple's Lisa and Macintosh operating systems. Some critics claimed that Apple was really attempting to gain all intellectual property rights over the desktop metaphor for computer interfaces, and perhaps all GUIs, on personal computers. Apple lost all claims in the lawsuit, except that the court ruled that the trash can icon and file folder icons from Hewlett-Packard's now-forgotten NewWave windows application were infringing. The lawsuit was filed in 1988 and lasted four years; the decision was affirmed on appeal in 1994, and the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court by Apple was denied..." Wiki.

IPhone

IPhone: iPhone refers to two separate lines of internet appliances: One developed by Infogear and another produced by Cisco's Linksys division.

The iPhone was first released in 1997 by Infogear. The original iPhone was designed by Nathan Clark, an electronics manufacturing engineer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It featured a touchscreen, used a variant of JavaOS, and could operate as a web browser or phone. It was one of the first wave of Internet appliances, preceding the I-Opener and 3Com Audrey. Reviewers cited it for offering a simpler and less expensive way to get onto the Internet, but criticized the size, lack of features, and USD $5 per month charge on top of Internet access and the purchase price of the iPhone.[1] When Infogear was acquired by Cisco Systems, the product was discontinued, though they held on to the iPhone registered trademark[2].

In 2006, Linksys, a division of Cisco, released a Voice over IP phone using the iPhone name. Unlike its predecessor, this device uses an existing network and features a proprietary operating system. Many analysts speculated that, in resurrecting its long-dormant trademark, Cisco was attempting to benefit from the halo effect of Apple's popular iPod music player.[3]
