Abstract
This experimental research study determined and compared the webpage browsing performance of proprietary and open source operating systems on wireless networks. It was intended to reveal the significant differences in the webpage browsing performance between proprietary and open source operating systems on wireless networks when classified as to hardware specifications and type’s web content. The researchers used the JavaScript Console of the Google Chrome web browser application to determine the time of the webpage to fully load. Operating system was the independent variable. Hardware specifications which were classified as old system and new system and types of web content which was also classified as static and dynamic webpages were the intervening variables. Webpages browsing performance was the dependent variable. The statistical tools used were arithmetic mean, and t-test. It also revealed that there were significant differences in the webpage browsing performance between proprietary and open source operating system on wireless networks when classified as to hardware specification and web content. The proprietary and open source operating systems were statistically different when classified as to hardware specifications and type of web content.
Highlights
Not so long ago computers were either large machines housed in carefully controlled rooms accessed via serial terminals, or small home machines which booted from ROM
What is the average webpage browsing performance of open source operating system on wireless networks when classified according to hardware specifications?
Descriptive Data Analysis The data obtained from the webpage browsing performance of proprietary and open source operating systems on wireless networks when classified according to hardware specification and types of web content
Summary
Not so long ago computers were either large machines housed in carefully controlled rooms accessed via serial terminals, or small home machines which booted from ROM. The personal computer resolutions has brought a computer to each desk, along with the noisy fans disk a modern PC requires, the maintenance nightmare of hundreds of different computer installations to maintain, and the never ending cycle of faster computers being required (McNeill, 2000). In today’s modern technology, network is one of the most valuable comprehensive innovations which pave the way to a much easier and faster data communication. Most people correlate network to their day to day kind of living. This innovation uplifts life’s standard in such a way that a person can do many transactions right in front of his computer in the convenience of his own home to the other parts of the world
