Operating System:

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

$149.00 [CAN]

Description:
The operating system is the 'brains' behind the 'guts' [the components] of the computer. It is what allows the user to control what is going on within the computer, as it allows them to access all data from components dynamically using a visual GUI [graphic user interface].

Why We Chose It:

We chose Microsoft Windows XP as our operating system for our Super Computer, because it is Microsoft's most modern operating system, with a sleek new interface, and great new features. [ I'm disappointed however that Apple has not released OS X for PC platforms, for I feel that it is a better OS! ] However, XP should be a great new operating system for our computer.
