There are so many operating systems available in the market that it's difficult to decide which one is the best. Search the Internet for information on the following operating systems, and draw a table that compares them in terms of scalability, ease of use, reliability, and cost. The list of choices should include the current version of the following common operating systems:WindowsUnix/LinuxMacOSBelow is an example of how the table can look:Operating SystemScalabilityEase of UseReliabilityCostWindows (version)Unix or LinuxMacOSIn the table, specify the version of the operating system being reviewed for each category and rate each operating system on a scale of 1 to 3 (1 belonging to the operating system that is the highest in that category [e.g., 1=easiest to use]).Based on the above analysis, state which operating system you recommend for the following requirements and your justification:The finance department of XYZ Inc. has hired two trainees to work on a simple database application. Users are going to use the computer for the first time.Smart Shoppers needs an OS with an easy-to-use interface and also the capability to support dual processors.A non-profit organization wants to host a Web site and needs a computer to host the Web site. They want a cost-effective solution for hosting the Web

Portfolio Project Option #2 utilizes a project scheduling software application to develop a project schedule for a construction project. This week's assignment builds on the two Portfolio Milestones in Weeks 4 and 6. This week you will write a Discussion and Conclusion by doing the following: Submit the improved version of the as-planned (baseline) schedule (you improve the as-planned schedule based on the feedback received from your instructor on previous portfolio milestone submissions), and in half a page, describe the as-planned schedule and describe the project's critical path to explain how you arrived at the projected completion date. Then provide a .pdf version of an updated schedule about the midway point of the schedule. This updated schedule should show that your project is behind schedule. Your updated schedule must show that a minimum of three critical and five near- and/or non-critical activities are behind schedule. (Highlight these activities or make some notes on the schedule to identify these activities.) To update your schedule, you need to assign actual start/finish dates or activity percent completes to completed or in-progress activities. It is up to you to decide how far the project has progressed. Provide a minimum of a page to discuss what could be done differently to prevent delays from occurring and explain how the schedule can help find the best strategies to complete the project as soon as practically feasible. In identifying delay-preventing strategies, consider discussing strategies that focus on effective planning and scheduling techniques, evaluating productivity, project monitoring and controlling, and effective financial management. Please include the nodes calculations for the forward and backward pass as well. The critical path needs to be a sequence from the start to the end node. The current critical path doesn't follow the same sequence. -The table with the activity list needs to include precedences. -There are several tasks in the Gantt Chart without precedences. That is, it doesn't follow the sequence from the CPM.   Please use teh following two docs to complete the new schedule.
