Differentiate between how a user interacts with mobile and desktop operating systems.

What will be an ideal response?


A desktop operating system may use menus, windows, and bars to run apps and to access features within apps. On a desktop, you can run multiple programs simultaneously and seamlessly due to the large screen and the use of pointing devices. This feature makes desktops more relevant than mobile operating systems to productivity and multitasking.?A mobile operating system may have one program running at a time with others running in the background, or it may provide a means for multiple apps to run simultaneously on the screen. Quick movements and gestures are often all that you need to perform tasks on a mobile device. Mobile operating systems use technologies such as cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC to communicate with other devices and to connect to the Internet. Mobile devices also typically include cameras, video cameras, voice recorders, and sometimes speech recognition.
