An intelligent operating system that is more like a smart assistant or servant. Any time the OS is damaged because a file is accidentally deleted or because of a virus attack, it automatically fixes itself (no more "The file ms.dll is missing"). It also automatically updates all software components (including third-party apps) via the net with the latest, most compatible versions. And the OS watches your moves and suggests faster ways to do things (for example, use a keyboard command to close a window rather than the mouse) and/or offers to automate tedius processes (you've been copying GIF files from folder A to folder B, would you like to copy all remaining GIF files from folder A to folder B?). Basically, an OS with artificial intelligence at its core with the purpose of doing as much tedius nonsense work for you as possible.

An operating system that DOES NOT crash ... really!

animated desktop screens, for example, a screen that shows a scene that reflects the weather outside ... raining, snowing, sunny, etc.

This site has been labeled by:

Today's modern operating systems can be frustrating. Frequent crashes, missing files, incompatible software, obscure interfaces – it's evident that computer technology for the masses is really still in its toddler stage. Try to keep this in mind whenever technology gets on your nerves and know that if you are a heavy computer user, a common experience of the job will be frustration.

If you don't mind taking the risk of further frustration, be sure to run the latest and greatest versions of computer operating systems by upgrading to the newest version. All major operating systems (Mac OS, Windows 98/XP, among others) also offer automatic system updates through Software Update (Mac) and Windows Update (Windows) connections.

To help you tame your current OS, know that there are plenty of excellent training materials, including books, videos and CD-ROMs. See our suggestions below.
