INTRODUCTION
Desktop operating system is defined as control program in user machine. Sometimes, it is
also known as client operating. Operating system is overwhelming majority while managing and
controlling multitasking. The report will describe about the real time, multi-tasking operating
system that mainly used in the industry. Furthermore, it will include a plan for including proper
maintenance and diagnostic requirements.
PART A
Difference between batch, real-time and multi-tasking operating systems.
Batch processing Real time Multi-tasking
 It mainly involves the
execution of job at same
time intervals.
 It occurs when user
may enter data in the
form of commands.
 It allows for user to
perform one or
more computer task
at same time.
 For Example- Payroll
System, Bank Statements
 For Example- Air
Traffic
Control Systems
 For Example-
BM's OS/390
Table: 1
Difference between Microsoft windows and MacOS operating systems.
Microsoft windows 10 MacOS 10.14
 Windows is mainly used for business
purpose that including graphics,
multimedia services.
 It is less expensive than MacOS.
 MacOs have built-in security
system.
 It is more expensive.

Features and benefits of each operating system
Mac OS 10.14 Windows 10
Features  Frequently update the
minor issues during
execution.
 High resolution and
interface.
 Allow dark mode feature.
 Supported application such
as Microsoft office, file
explorer.
 Graphical user interface.
Benefits  It is immediately access
the latest capabilities and
modify according to
requirement.
 Window is boasting the
compatibility with most
extensive hardware.

Identify two platforms.
 Microsoft windows 10
 MacOs 10.14
Identify suitable for industry purpose.
Mac OS 10.14 Operating system is suitable for industry purpose because it is multi-
tasking and handle large number of operations at same time. It is widely used as application
server and other type of database servers. It is primarily used in workstation by IBM, Intel and
HP. (Wang, Lv and Li, 2019).
Compare between hardware requirements.
Mac Os: Windows:
 1 GHz or Processors
 RAM-4
 Graphic card driver
 Direct X.9
 Is-CPU
 Super driver
 USB Drive
 RAM-2
 CPU
 GUI
Recommendation
As per discussion, manager can understand the need and requirement so that they can choose
MacOs 10.14. It is suitable for selecting the operating system that handle overall business
performance and efficiency. In terms of security and privacy, it can secure the sensitive data or
information.
Peripherals devices recommendation
 Mouse
 Keyboard
 Monitor
 Printer and scanner

PART B
Task-1
Create proposal
Hardware
 1.8Ghz 2 Duo CPU
 80GB HDD
 Disk Space: 2.5 GB
 DVD-ROM drive
 Microphone and camera built in
Software
 Memory—16 GB recommended
 Adobe reader
 MS Officer 2008/11
 Adobe ShockWave web-browser
Costing
 Software: $1000
 Hardware: $1200
Warranty information
 1-year manufacturer warranty
List reason for selection
 MacOs 10.14 can handle the business application such as database management, network
and system administration (Markettos and et.al., 2019).
 It often chosen over server operating system in terms of security, flexibility and stability.

Requirement of software and hardware
Hardware
 1.8Ghz 2 Duo CPU
 80GB HDD
 Disk Space: 2.5 GB
 DVD-ROM drive
 Microphone and camera built in
Software
 Memory—16 GB recommended
 Adobe reader
 MS Officer 2008/11
 Adobe ShockWave web-browser
Inventory Equipment, storage devices
 Video and sound cards
 Memory -16GB
 SCSI devices

Task-2
Installation plan with specific timeline
 Select version Mac Os 10.14
 Installation
 Disk storage selection
 File layout
 Backup and restore
Develop testing plan
Identify the contingency including spam, virus.
Mac OS 10.14, It is mainly used for performing multitasking activities within system. in
context of security aspects. It will help for protecting through virus and spam, which are directly
effects on the overall processors In order to prevent for activating the feature of security for
controlling authorised access in the system. so as need to install Mac os with security features for
eliminating spam and virus within system. afterwards, it provide faster or better efficient
processes. Therefore, it attacks on virus to secure information in Linux operating system.

Documentation with advice about equipment operating environment how to store and move.
As per considerations, it should require to maintain a proper documentation and identify
essential software, equipment in operating environment. Furthermore, it can move towards
Equipment operating environment in the form inevitable when it has established connection
among one or more devices. The peripherals property when packing the label multiple hardware
that help for supplying the various devices in quickly manner.
Determine that how Applied WHS issues and environmental sustainability considerations.
WHS has applied with environmental sustainability that consider as important for collecting
large amount of information in operating system. Sometimes, Mac os operating system can
handle errors and reduce disrupting for client. It must ensure that overall installation process,
testing completed in properly. Ideally, it may include the storage and environment consideration.
CONCLUSION
As per discussion, it has summarised about the desktop operating system that help for
controlling and maintaining program in user machine. It has summarised about the effectiveness
of real time, multi-tasking operating system in the business perspectives. Furthermore, it also
develops plan for including proper maintenance and diagnosis by using hardware equipment’s.
