Without the consent of the user, the program will never be elevated to administrator privilege. The MIC or integrity levels is again a new security concept with Vista OS. This feature is controlled by the Access control entry (ACE) in the System Access control List (SACL) of a file, process or a registry key. By associating every process with an integrity level, the OS limits privilege escalation attacks. [Matthew Conover]

Operating systems are the very core of the computers and control the basic functions of resource abstraction and resource sharing. Today, new, more efficient and robust operating systems are being developed that promise to offer entirely new levels of computing power, improved stability and overall security. Most operating systems use virtual memory mapping and extensive security features such as firewalls and other encryption tools built in to control data compromise and information theft specifically for the Web. There is also a shift in the trend towards a microkernel-based architecture (as XP) as it promises more stability than a monolithic architecture that promises more speed. The rapid development in the open source market such as the newly developed Google Chrome OS, which is slated for released this year is an indication of the considerable changes that are ahead in future pertaining to computer operating systems.

One of the main drawbacks of the user authentication is the essence of various attacks to the protection mechanism. The concept of user authenticity is weak and susceptible to numerous attacks. The protection mechanism also relates to the ability of the user to maintain the user ID and password secret for the purposes of minimizing threats and attacks (Weber 2010). This is an indication that the users must have

Configuration of Microsoft Windows in more complex networking environments required an extensive amount of add-in software and programming to ensure all systems could work. Finally the levels of security inherent in the Microsoft Windows operating system continue to be problematic (Bradley, 2009). The Linux and UNIX operating systems are comparable in terms of kernel and memory architectures (MacKinnon, 1999)(Predd, Cass, 2005). There are variations in the pricing models used for
In addition the cost makes it expensive to own the hardware required to support these systems as personal computers. The university has also indicated its preference for the PC and the Windows operating system. All training and skill acquisition is also generally offered for the windows system in the college. Standardization and uniformity of the design platform of Microsoft has greatly enhanced the applicability in the workplace. Standard packages

7 billion by 2008 establishing the fact that Linux is no more a fringe player but rather a mainstream. IDC admitted that Linux is not being used just on new hardware only. As an alternative customers frequently reinstall existing servers to run Linux. While considering for such use as also the use of Linux for secondary OS, IDC forecasts for servers running Linux to remain 26% larger in 2008. Evidently,
