Operating systems usually come
preloaded on any computer you buy.
Most people use the operating system
that comes with their computer, but it's
possible to upgrade or even change
operating systems. The three most
common operating systems for personal
computers are Microsoft Windows, Apple
Mac OS X, and Linux.
No matter what
operating system you
pick today, whether it is
the most popular Linux
distributions, Windows
or Mac, you will find
that it has lots of bloat
and garbage shoved in
there for no real reason
except to add supposed
value to that operating
system.
