Using The Windows Operating System.docVIP

Using The Windows Operating System After a PC is booted up,the computer waits to receive input from the user regarding what activity he or she would like to perform first. The manner in which an operating system or any other type of program interacts with its users is known as its users interface. Older software programs used a text-based user interface, which required the user to type precise instructions indicating exactly what the computers should do. Most programs today use a graphical user interface or GUI (pronounced”goo-ey”) ,which uses graphical objects (such as icons and buttons) and the mouse to much more easily tell the computer what the user wants it to do. 当个人计算机启动之后，电脑就从用户那等待接收一个输入信号——他或她想要最先执行的程序。在一个操作系统或任何与其用户交互的其他类型的程序中，方法被认为是它的用户界面。比较旧的软件程序使用的是基于文本的用户界面，这就要求用户输入精细的用法说明来确切地指示电脑应该怎么做。现在的大部分程序使用图形用户界面或者GUI（读作“goo-ey”），它使用了图形对象（如图标和按钮）以及鼠标来更简单地告诉计算机用户要它做什么。 GUIs became the standard once hardware became sufficient to support it, Older systems could not adequately deliver the necessary WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get, pronounced”wizzy-wig”) displays in which screen images resemble printed documents, since the output wasn’t of acceptable quality. And later, when screen outputs started to look acceptable, it just took too long to display the graphics on the computer to be worthwhile. These days, of course, most computers can rapidly display WYSIWYG displays, as well as other types of text and graphics. 图形用户界面成为了标准，曾经，硬件也足够地支持它。由于输出设备没有合格的质量，因此旧的系统不能像印刷文件那样充分地将必要的所见即所得（您看到的就是你得到的，读作“wizzy-wig”）显示在屏幕上。之后，当屏幕输出看上去可以接受时，可是在计算机上显示图形花的时间太长了，仍是没有价值。当然，这些日子，大多数电脑可以快速显示所见即所得显示器，以及其他类型的文字和图形。 The Windows Interface One of the advantages of using Windows is that application software written for any version of the Windows operating system has a similar appearance and works essentially the same way as Windows does. Thus, if you are comfortable using the Windows interface and some Windows software, all other Windows software should seem familiar. Other graphical op
