Introduction
In todays technological world Operating Systems would be familiar to most people. The basic and one of the earliest definitions can be said as a system which takes input from different sources, processes them based on predesigned instructions within it and provides meaningful outputs. The operating system is commonly referred by its acronym OS. (Basics of Operating Systems, 2006-2012)
Figure 1
An operating system is a program that acts as an intermediary between a computer user and the computer hardware. Operating system carries out the basic jobs like accepting commands from the user, provides desired services to the user and user programs, controlling and giving priority to the system requirements, assigning the memory and organizing file systems. There are various types of operating system which is developed worldwide and being used for various purposes on various platforms and devices.
January 1, 2012
One of the most common Graphical User Interface Operating Systems is Windows. Concerning to our assignment title, our group chose the Windows 7 Operating System. Windows 7 is a multi tasking operating system which is developed by Microsoft for the public in 2009. Windows 7 has a 64-bit along with the availability of 32 bit support which enables the users to use almost all the latest PCs. Windows 7 supports them all. There are six versions of Microsoft Windows 7 which are the Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, and Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise in order to home and business/enterprise purposes. Windows 7 was launched with many new and advanced features which are beneficial to users. Before the development of Windows 7, there were few other operating systems that have been introduced into the world of computing. Those operating systems are Windows 95, 98, 2000 and ME.

System Hardware Requirements

In order for Windows 7 to run smoothly, Windows 7 has certain requirements that your computer must meet. They are as follows:
I gigahertz processor 1 gigabyte of RAM ( For 32 bit) and 2 gigabyte of RAM ( For 64 bit) 16 gigabyte ( For 32 bit ) and 20 gigabyte ( For 64 bit) hard drive DirectX 9 compatible graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.
(Windows, 2012)

Memory Management
The table shows the comparison between Windows 7 and XP
32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor handles information. The 64bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.

Analysis
User Interface
A user interface also called as UI or simply an interface is the means in which a person controls a software application or hardware device. A good user interface provides a userfriendly experience, allowing the user to interact with the software or hardware in a natural and spontaneous way. Nearly all software programs and operating systems have a graphical user interface or known as GUI. The programs includes graphical controls, which the user can select using a mouse or keyboard. (TechTerms.com, 2009) . A typical GUI consists of a menu bar, toolbar, windows, buttons, icons and other controls to carry out commands such as creating file, deleting a file, opening a browser, closing the browser and etc. GUI is not like the command line operating system, where we need to memorize specific commands to open a specific application/program. GUI is easier for the end user to use and learn with just having basic knowledge of computer. Examples of GUI are: Windows 7 Mac OS Mountain Lion Linux
Windows 7 has many new features and enhancements. Upon adding to the features, Windows Aero is added to Windows 7 and it is a type of user interface and although it looks similar to the older interface in many ways, it is actually quite different. The visible changes a user can see on the user interface are as follows:

1. Aero Peek
Figure 30- Snapshot of Aero Peek feature
One of Windows 7 features is called Aero Peek is shown in Figure 30. Aero Peek is available on Home Premium Edition, Professional Edition, and Ultimate Edition. Aero Peek allows users to see through or X-Ray visions all of the current open windows on the display so that they can see straight to the items on the Windows 7 desktop. For example, users have three word documents open. The word icon will appear on the taskbar and it is highlighted to indicate that the word document is running. To access into those specific windows, it is done by pointing the mouse to the right edge of the Windows taskbar which actually forces all the open tabs to become transparent, allowing the user to see through and review those tabs on the desktop background.
23
January 1, 2012
2. Aero Snap
Figure 31- Snapshot of Aero Snap feature
Source: http://www.petri.co.il/new-aero-features-in-windows-7.htm
Figure 31 shows another feature of Windows 7 is Aero Snap. It is available on all versions of Windows. Aero Snap is a quick way for users to resize open windows by simply dragging them to the edges of the desktop. For example, if a user has two word documents opened in a display mode and wants to compare them side by side, all they have to do is leverage snap by clicking and dragging one document to the extreme left of the screen which snaps 50% of the view able space. To get the other window in a similar view, they would just need drag it to the extreme right side.

1. The Taskbar
Figure 32-Snapshot of Windows 7 taskbar
The new Windows 7 taskbar shown in Figure 32 is considerably different from previous incarnations of Windows. It combines with the earlier taskbars which was place to show which programs were open and allow user to switch between programs. Users can now pin programs to taskbar which will place a shortcut to that program directly on the taskbar. In the taskbar, these are the things users can see clearly:
Display Desktop This feature will hide all open windows allowing the user to view their full Desktop. Notification Area Displays any programs you have running in the background (such as a virus scanning program) and displays the time and date.
(Smith, 2012)
2. Computer Screen
The computer screen (formerly known as My Computer) shown in Figure 33 has changed slightly in Windows 7. Along with showing all of the various drives attached to your computer, you also have an Explorer type view on the left side that will allow you easy access to the contents of those drives. (Smith, 2012)
25
January 1, 2012
Figure 33-Snapshot of Computer Screen 3. Quick Search Have you ever opened a window, such as the Control Panel, and have trouble finding what you are looking for? Windows 7 allows users to search individual windows through Quick Search. In our example the user was able to find Windows Update by typing the word update (without quotations) in the search filed located in the top right corner of the window. The Quick Search field is available most windows. (Smith, 2012)

[A DETAILED RESEARCH ON WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSYTEM] 4. Start Menu
January 1, 2012
Figure 35 shows the start menu. It is the main gateway to your computers programs, folders and settings. As the Start implies, its often the place where users will go to start or open programs. Users would find the Start Menu in Windows 7 is easier to use as the icons are large enough and its arranged accordingly to alphabetically order. (Windows, 2012)
Figure 35- Snapshot of Start menu
27
[A DETAILED RESEARCH ON WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSYTEM] The Start Menu is divided into three basic parts:
January 1, 2012
The large left pane shows a short listed of programs installed in your computer. Clicking on All Programs displays a complete list of programs installed.
In the lower left corner is the search box which allows users to search for programs by typing in.
The right pane shows the access to commonly used folders and files. It is also where you go to log off from Windows or turn of your whole machine.

Process Control Management

Process control management can define as a multiprogramming method that runs multiple processers. The process allocates a priority and executes at any time, while the other process will be waiting for execute or performing I/O. A process is sequential in a program implementation with requirement of memory, CPU time, and documents to absolute its task. (Singh, 2010) During a process execution time those resources are allocated and if the program is reactive at the same time as active process. Process involves central process units that contain a set of instruction that called threats. Each one instruction files contains each application that written by programmers. (Microsoft, 2012) Threats are spawned by process that creates through an application and the operation system runs. Windows 7 operating system is real time software that requires process control management. The operating system supports round robin scheduling algorithm for real time range treads. Windows 7 is a multitasking operating system which can runs multiple applications at one time. This application allows switching one treads to another rapidly and synchronized. It is enhanced with preemptive multitasking process that single can be intermittent by another process during execution completed. Windows 7 uses a control block with priority level and time window system which control the arrangement of process and threads if occurs interruption.
29
January 1, 2012
Figure 36 shows the diagram for process control management Source: http://www.srinivasbt.com/linux/process.htm
The central process unit checks to observe either needs to switch to other threads is depends on the time that given for each treads for execution before. If the tread cant doesnt finish its task at time, CPU will switch to next tread and the first process will be at waiting point until the execution done. Preemption of treads only can happen before the current tread quantum is finishes. A priority level assigned for treads and process allows a systematic pre-empt or execution. There are two types of scheduling process which real-time priority level will be 1631 and Dynamic priority 1-15. Higher level priority has superior probability to pre-empt over current treads that executing or next quantum. Central process unit will confine the treads that not finish executes because of preemption and resume on the earlier processors that ran it. (Byron Wright, 2012)

Deadlock Management
A set of process have a deadlock, if each process is waiting for an event that only another process in the set can cause. In other words, each member of the set of deadlock processes is waiting for a resource that can be released only by a deadlock process. None of the processes can run, can release any resources, and can be awakened. Example, Deadlock is where process 1 has been allocated non-shareable resources A, say, a tap drive, and process 2 has be allocated non-sharable resource B, say, a printer. Now, if it turns out that process 1 needs resource B to proceed and process 2 needs resource A to proceed and these are the only two processes in the system, each is blocked the other and all useful work in the system stops. This situation is termed deadlock. The system is in deadlock state because each process holds a resource being requested by the other process neither process is willing to release the resource it holds. (techforum4u,2012)
Conditions for deadlock
There are four conditions in deadlock. Deadlock can only exist if 4 conditions hold simultaneously:
I.
Mutual Exclusion
The resources involved are non-shareable. Explanation: Only one process at a time can use at least one resource. II. Hold and Wait
Requesting process hold already, resources while waiting for requested resources. Explanation: A process holds a resource while waiting for another resource.
31
January 1, 2012
III.
No Pre-emption
Resources cannot be preempted.
Explanation: Once a process holds a resource, it cannot be taken away by another process or the kernel.
IV.
Circular wait
One process waits for another in a circular fashion Explanation: Process A waits for Process B waits for Process C.... waits for Process A.
Method for Handling Deadlock
There are 3 simple methods to handling deadlock. There are, I. Use a protocol to prevent or avoid deadlocks, ensuring that the system will never enter a deadlock state. Deadlock Prevention- provides a set of methods for ensuring that at least one of the necessary conditions Deadlock avoidance- requires that the OS be given in advance additional information concerning which resources a process will request and use during its life time. II. Allow the system to enter a deadlock state, detect it, and recover.
III.
Ignore the problem altogether and pretend that deadlocks never occur in the system.

Memory Management
Windows 7 Memory Management Windows 7 memory manager tools virtual memory provides a hub set of services such as memory mapped files, copy-on-write memory, large memory support, and underlying support for the cache manager. Each process on 32-bit Microsoft Windows has its individual virtual address space that enables addressing up to 4 gigabytes of memory. Each process on 64-bit Windows has a virtual address space of 8 terabytes. All threads of a process can access its virtual address space. However, threads cannot access memory that belongs to another process, which protects a process from being corrupted by another process. (Memory management, 2012) Virtual Address Space Address space for each process is private and cannot accessed by other processes unless if it is shared. Virtual address does not represent the real physical site of an object in memory. Each time a thread references an address, the system translates the virtual address to a physical address. The virtual address space for 32-bit Windows is 4 gigabytes (GB) in size and divided into two partitions: one for use by the process and the other reserved for use by the system (Virtual Address Space, 2012) Memory Pools Memory manager creates the following memory pools that the system uses to assign memory, nonpaged and paged pool. Both memory pools are located in the region of the address space that is reserved for the system. The nonpaged pool consists of virtual memory addresses that are guaranteed to reside in physical memory while paged pool consists of virtual memory that can be paged in and out of the system. To develop performance, systems with a single processor have three paged pools, and multiprocessor systems have five paged pools. (Memory pools, 2012)
33
January 1, 2012
Virtual Memory Function
The virtual memory functions enable a process to manipulate the status of pages in its virtual address space. They are,

Reserve a range of a process's virtual address space. Assign a range of reserved pages in a process's virtual address space. Indicate read/write, read-only, or no access for a range of committed pages. Making the range of virtual addresses existing for following allocation operations by the calling process.
Reassign a series of committed pages, releasing their physical storage and making it available for subsequent allocation by any process.
Lock one or more pages of committed memory into physical memory (RAM) Get information about a range of pages in the virtual address space of the particular process.
Change the access protection for a particular range of committed pages in the virtual address space of the particular process. (Virtual Memory Function, 2012)

The most commonly accessed tab in Task Manager is the Performance tab.
Figure 41- shows the Performance Tab Physical Memory (MB): Total entry shows the amount of RAM installed in the system. The Cached entry indicates the amount of physical memory used recently for system resources. The Available entry shows the amount of physical memory that is currently not being used. The Free entry shows the amount of memory used recently in the cached but does not contain useful information. Kernel Memory (MB): The Paged and Nonpaged entries break down the total amount of memory being used by the kernel and show you how much of it is coming from virtual memory and how much is coming from physical memory, separately.

The Handles entry shows the number of object identifiers currently is use by all running processes. Threads entry shows to refer to the number of sub-processes running inside of larger processes. The processes entry, represent the number of currently running processes. In addition, you can see the each of the current running processes by selecting the Processes tab. The Up Time entry shows the amount of time that has passed since the computer has been restarted. Commit entry is a simple measurement that shows Page File usage. Here, the first number shows the total number of physical and virtual memory currently in use, and the second number indicated the total amount of physical and virtual memory available on your computer.
When you access on the Networking tab, you can view network status and see how your network is functioning.
Figure 42- shows the network status

Secondary Disk Scheduling Management

Disk scheduling management is a process that system resources which shared by threads, processors or else data flow. The secondary disk scheduling is a media configuration that evolution of magnetic tapes towards disk. Secondary disk scheduling consists of single dimensional arrays of logical blocks. Those logical blocks are mapped onto the disk according to string of arrays. Disk is known as huge secondary storage contributor and also characterized quick access time with bandwidth. Seek time and rotational latency is two key constituents of the access time. Windows 7 operating system disk scheduling based on shortest seeks time algorithm which service based on the demand that nearest to the existing head with the in spite of direction. (Howard J. Hamilton, n.d.)
The image above shows the requested once-over is according to the shortest distance request. Which the head request that starts from 50 and proceeds to 42 because according to the SSTF scheduling the nearest request will respond immediately compared to others, and then followed by the next request which is 60 instead of 70 because its only 18 tracks which can be classified the nearest request, until it is completely finished until the ending.

Standard Support
All operating systems have their own standard support so does Windows 7. It is important for users to know the standard support for their operating system. There are many types of standard support provided by Windows. Users could visit Microsoft page to obtain help. Besides that, there is a fix and solution center. This helps users to find automated solutions for users issues. Microsoft answers are also available for users where users can post questions or browse for solutions in the Windows 7 forums. There is also customer service assistance. Users may go see these people personally about Microsoft products and services. Third party support is also available such as OEM (original equipment manufacturer). User must visit OEM contact page to learn how to tell whether your installation is OEM. If you Microsoft product is pre-installed, distributed with your computer, or obtained as an upgrade directly from your computer manufacturer, the primary source for support is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) who provided the Microsoft product. Lastly but not least, users can get Microsoft Technical Support. Users will have to contact a Microsoft support professional, click on the product and version below that is applicable to you. They will ask few questions to help determine what your support options are. The support options may include email, on-line submission or phone support. (Microsoft, Windows, 2012)
