The electronic world has evolved in leaps and bounds over the decades and more so in the last decade. And a major innovation in th electronic field was the invention of computer, and the on-going process of building faster, reliable, and better computers, such as the Pentium and the Macintosh. Benjamin Franklin, surely knew that his invention of electricity was a major scientific breakthrough, but he must have not thought of what the 21st century would achieve with electricity that he invented. Charles Babbage, as is believed to be the inventor of computer, must have surely not visualized how his invention would evolve in the years to come.
Given the fact that computers today are widely used in all walks of life, for any job that ranges from heavy computing for a space research or for business transaction or for personal use such as socializing. So much so they are now counted as man's basic amenities like food, clothing, shelter and COMPUTERS. Then came the various Operating systems that work on these computers like DOS, Linux, Windows, and MAC OS. And their compatibility with different processors like the Pentium and Macintosh. As it is believed Macintosh products by Apple, are far more advanced and reliable than other products in its class, and thus Macintosh gained popularity over the years. With this wide usage there rose a need for people to professionally understand the working of Macintosh so as to troubleshoot any problems that arise from them. After all, computers are machines that are prone to failure. But the thing remains that Macintosh are different from the conventionally used computers. Let us see, why it is so.
Advantages and criticism of Mac.
The Macintosh differs in several ways from other x86-based personal computers, especially those that run the Windows operating system. Apple directly sub-contracts hardware production to Asian OEM laptop manufacturers such as Asus, maintaining a high degree of control over the end product. In contrast, Microsoft supplies its software to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's), including Dell, HP/Compaq, and Lenovo, who make the hardware using a wider range of components. Apple's less-common operating system means that a much smaller range of third-party software is available, although applications, such as Microsoft Office for Mac, are available in most areas. However, following the release of Intel-based Mac, third-party platform virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and VirtualBox began to emerge, allowing users to run much of the previously Windows-only software on a Mac. Apple also released a public beta version of Boot Camp, which allows users to run alternative operating systems natively on any Intel-based Mac.
The Macintosh operating system is considered to targeted by malware far less than that of Microsoft Windows operating system. This is largely due to both the UNIX roots of Mac OS X and the smaller Usage share of desktop operating systems of Apple Operating systems of roughly 5% in contrast to Microsoft Windows 92%. Both of these factors drive malware creators to develop for Microsoft Windows. However, worms as well as potential vulnerabilities were noted in February 2006, which led some industry analysts and anti-virus companies to issue warnings that Apple's Mac OS X is not immune to viruses, as is commonly misconceived.
Apple has a history of innovation demonstrated, in part, by strong development of software upgrades, which would often leave older programs obsolete. Rather than waiting for developers to upgrade their applications, Apple included interim provisions for older applications. When Apple switched from the Motorola 68000 series of processors to PowerPC processors, they included an emulator, so that 68000 code could run on PowerPC. Likewise, when Apple switched from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, Classic allowed users to run Mac OS 9 applications under Mac OS X. Again, during the Apple Intel transition, Apple introduced Rosetta, an emulator which allows Intel based Macs to run PowerPC code
