XP loosing competition

According to data collected by NetApplications, after a short time in January increased the proportion between the operating systems for desktop personal computers to 47% of Windows XP in February dropped to 45%, but still the dominant operating system. The second is Windows 7, whose share increased from 36 to 38%, and the third is Vista, whose share fell to 8%. All versions of MacOS X on PCs together hold approximately 6% of the market. Although it is still a leading share of Windows XP, however, constantly decreasing, which greatly encouraged and I am pointing out that Microsoft will support the operating system to be abolished in April 2014. Specifically, a year ago, Windows 7 had a 24% share, while the share of Windows XP was 57%.

Children and computers

The use of computers in children, regardless of what some parents thought about it, can not be completely avoided. Not only are computers entered in every pore of life, but almost every household in USA owns a computer. Children are surrounded by technology and computers. Preschool children should use the computer for short periods, 10 to 20 minutes a day. Long periods in front of the screen steals playing time and other more valuable activities. In this age may serve to improve the social and language skills, learning new words and rules of behavior, to foster creativity and cognitive skills to solve problems.
