<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>Linux was developed to manage         servers and was designed for use by technical experts.  Windows was also developed as a GUI operating system         by Microsoft to replace its older command line managed operating system         MS-DOS.</span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b>For Windows:</b></b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Windows is probably the most commonly available         operating system. There is usually at least some technical support         available for Windows and there are a lot of publications and websites         available on how to use Windows. Windows usually comes pre-installed on         brand-name computers although the versions of Windows on locally         produced computers in developing countries are often pirated versions.         Windows 7 has been very popular and are relatively fast. Windows drivers         are available for nearly all available hardware. Application software         for Windows is usually easy to download and install. Windows 8 has not         been as well received and a revised version was released towards the end         of 2013. Most of the open source and free application software will run         on Windows.A new version of Windows--Windows 10 (Windows 9 has been         skipped over)--will probably be released sometime in June or July 2015.         Microsoft has announced that the upgrade to Windows 10 will be made         available free to users of valid versions of Windows 7 and 8.<b><b> </b></b></span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b><b>Against Windows:</b> </b></b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Windows is expensive. Microsoft used to make         Windows 7 starter available for purchase in some developing countries at         about $US50, however there is no starter version of Windows 8. Online         prices from reputable dealers for basic versions of Windows 7 and 8 seem         to be about $US90. Legal copies of Windows are frequently attacked with         viruses -- free and open source anti-virus and firewall protection is         available-- but may not have the reliability of the better commercial         software. Pirated copies of Windows cannot load Windows security updates         and are extremely vulnerable.<b><b> </b></b></span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b><b>For Linux:</b> </b></b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b><b> </b></b></b>Linux operating systems are free and virtually all         of the software available to run on Linux is also free. It is reliable         and fast. Linux is much less susceptible to virus attack than Windows.         It will run satisfactorily on older computer equipment and installs         without difficulty on most of the new laptops. There is a lot of         training material available online-- including videos. Most Linux         distributions automatically install a word processor, a spreadsheet ,         presentation software and several operating system utilities on initial         installation. Installation of the operating system is straightforward         and application software available though the included software         management software is simple.to load.<b><b>  </b></b></span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b><b>Against Linux:</b> </b></b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Users of Windows or Apple operating systems will         have a bit of a learning curve getting used to the Linux interface. The         open source software available for office applications may not have all         of the features available with the commercial software (although the         average user probably wouldn't use the missing functions anyway). A         special problem is in small data bases where there seems to be no         intermediate level database for Linux equivalent to Access. A few of the         applications in the "free" software group will run only on Windows.         Users without Internet access or who have low bandwidth will have         difficulty accessing open source software. Technical help may be hard to         find. There are often problems in older equipment with finding drivers         for some of the peripherals-- particularly wifi. Many         printers--particularly those a few years old--may not have easily         installed drivers available.<b><b>  </b></b></span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><b><b>What to do:</b> </b></b></span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">This depends on what your situation is:<b><b> </b></b></span></div>
<ul dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<li>
<dl>
<li><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>If you are using pirated Windows software and can't afford legal           software and virus-protection: </b> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">       The only viable solution is to switch over to an open-source           software like Linux (if your computer is compatible). The pain of           changing operating systems will be far less than the long-term           problems of using pirated software.</span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">  </span></li>
</dl>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>If you have a current legal Windows operating system (Windows 7 or           later) which is protected with anti-viral software (remember           commercial anti-viral software has to be renewed every year.):</b></span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">       You will probably find it convenient to stay with Windows--           particularly if you are planning to mix commercially purchased           applications with open source or free software.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>If you require specialized applications for which there is no           suitable open source software--for example developing Access databases:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>        </b>In this situation, if you can afford the legal software, Windows is           the best solution.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>If you are starting with a new computer:</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">       Give Linux a try-- unless you have very specialized needs, the odds           are it will meet all your needs and will save you a whole lot of           money.<b> </b></span></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="color: #333333;">"</span><b><span style="color: red;">IP</span></b><span style="color: #333333;">" stands for Internet Protocol, so an IP address is an Internet Protocol address. What does that mean? An Internet Protocol is a set of rules that govern Internet activity and facilitate completion of a variety of actions on the World Wide Web. Therefore an Internet Protocol address is part of the systematically laid out interconnected grid that governs online communication by identifying both initiating devices and various Internet destinations, thereby making two-way communication possible.</span></span> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">An IP address consists of four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. Here's an example of what an IP address might look like: 78.125.0.209. This innocuous-looking group of four numbers is the key that empowers you and me to send and retrieve data over our Internet connections, ensuring that our messages, as well as our requests for data and the data we've requested, will reach their correct Internet destinations. Without this numeric protocol, sending and receiving data over the World Wide Web would be impossible.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtN_5LPCAq4l-ki56uJj6r-pIUQjSQ_m9Qkza5w_2vcbb3LvKa2zmu3-HtaISKdULmlfH1MBwTstvbHUKM5lpJLQk9frISwwby0RWLrBU5Njp76rwRgBhFQYsVHqPGYnPkydlTwR6j0Xe/s1600/ip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwtN_5LPCAq4l-ki56uJj6r-pIUQjSQ_m9Qkza5w_2vcbb3LvKa2zmu3-HtaISKdULmlfH1MBwTstvbHUKM5lpJLQk9frISwwby0RWLrBU5Njp76rwRgBhFQYsVHqPGYnPkydlTwR6j0Xe/s320/ip.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">                    IP addresses can be either static or dynamic. Static IP addresses never change. They serve as a permanent Internet address and provide a simple and reliable way for remote computers to contact you. Static IP addresses reveal such information as the continent, country, region, and city in which a computer is located; the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that services that particular computer; and such technical information as the precise latitude and longitude of the country, as well as the locale, of the computer. Many websites provide IP address look-up services to their visitors, free of charge. If you're curious about your own IP address, you can locate these websites by performing a Google search.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">Static IP addresses are considered somewhat less secure than dynamic IP addresses, since they are easier to track for data mining purposes. However, following safe Internet practices can help mitigate this potential problem and keep your computer secure no matter what type of IP address you use.</span></div></div>

According to former <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyglass,_Inc." style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Spyglass, Inc.">Spyglass</a> developer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Sink" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Eric Sink">Eric Sink</a>, Internet Explorer was based not on NCSA Mosaic as commonly believed, but on a version of Mosaic developed at Spyglass (which itself was based upon NCSA Mosaic). Microsoft quickly released several successive versions of Internet Explorer, bundling them with Windows, never charging for them, financing their development and marketing with revenues from other areas of the company. This period of time became known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_wars" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Browser wars">browser wars</a>, in which Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer added many new features and went through many version numbers (not always in a logical fashion) in attempts to outdo each other. But Internet Explorer had the upper hand, as the amount of manpower and capital dedicated to it eventually surpassed the resources available in Netscape's entire business. By version 3.0, IE was roughly a feature-for-feature equivalent of Netscape Communicator, and by version 4.0, it was generally considered to be more stable on Windows than on the Macintosh platform. Microsoft also targeted other Netscape products with free workalikes, such as the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Server" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Internet Information Server">Internet Information Server</a> (IIS), a web server which was bundled with Windows NT.Netscape could not compete with this strategy. In fact, it didn't attempt to. Netscape Navigator was not free to the general public until January 1998, while Internet Explorer and IIS have always been free or came bundled with an operating system and/or other applications.</div><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: left;"></div><h3 dir="ltr" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-style: none; color: black; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; text-align: left;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Final_release_of_the_browser">Final release of the browser</span></h3><div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: left;"><br />A new version of the Netscape browser, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator_9" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Netscape Navigator 9">Netscape Navigator 9</a>, based on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Firefox">Firefox</a> 2, was released in October 2007.
