SIMPLICITY RULES

The OS war will be about Tunes, Space & Spin

Who can deny the fact that even in the world of Operating Systems (OSs), the three Cs that underline the general rules are – Consumerism, Communication and Computing. And to talk about the terminologies that we associate with the host of OSs at our disposal today – Linux, MacOS, Minix, Trinux, UNIX, Vistas, and Windows – whose respective futures too get moulded solely by the manner in which perception of computing changes as Vikrant Khattar, (Sr. System Engineer, MGDI, Hyderabad) asserts, “The next-generation operating system has to start with the user and user interface (UI) wherein the UI will be three-dimensional. The OS of future has to be synchronous with the development of processors.” And in total realisation of this truth, many Computational Research Laboratories are mushrooming across the globe, redefining & revealing their unique progressive forms of the link between the user and his/her hardware (desktop, laptop, palmtop, mobile et al) – of the next generation OS!

Today, with the wave of the 64-bit processor catching up, the future of OS too appears vividly differentiated. So, does that also mean that the road to this progress would lead to intricate products? Not so as Nitin Bhatt, Software Engineer, TCS proclaims, “”OS is merely a link between the user and the system, nothing more nothing less. Definitely it is an important tool for the specialists, yet as far as common users are concerned not many of the zillion functions performed by the OS matters. This necessitates that in future the OS will grow top down.” Very logical indeed. And what about customisation? Well, a thumping answer to that comes in the form of OS breeds like TUNES, Aegis, SPACE, SPIN & EROS; all of which are all set to lead the future in the world of OS. These OSs besides being customised to address ‘a’ particular need of its users are also a generation ahead in terms of providing security.
