Week 6- Operating Systems

This week in class we discussed the operating systems of computers and the differences between them. Because the operating system is what manages hardware and software resources, it will be important for my technology to have a good operating system that will most easily accommodate the tasks of the mirror. The GUI will have to be one that is user friendly as it will be used by customers and the technology will be dependent on interaction with the customers. The OS will also manage the process and memory in the mirror which will be vital to its function.

While I recently just switched from a pc to a mac, I feel that a pc would probably be more familiar to the masses and therefore a better OS to use for the mirror. In addition, due to similar technologies in the Microsoft Surface, I would feel comfortable with the windows OS being capable of handling the technology of the mirror.

I do not think that there would be much market for a mobile OS for the mirror which would mean that there would need to be no considerations made to accommodate smartphones.
