The present work is devoted to the description of the evolution of antimonopoly cases brought against Microsoft by the American, European and Russian antimonopoly authorities. The focus of this work is on assessing the ability of Microsoft as a manufacturer of an operating system that occupies a dominant position that can influence competition in the application software market, including the browser market, antivirus protection and media players. The position in the market of operating systems is closely related to the presence of direct and indirect network effects. It was found that in most cases Microsoft was accused of obtaining vertical restrictions and related sales in order to restrict competition. In addition, in later antitrust cases against Microsoft, there has been an increasing focus on behavioral aspects.

Since the great success of the operating system Linux, the development of Free and Open Source Software is broad discussed. This is also seen as the beginning of a new economic development. This paper examines, what makes Linux actually so significant for the computer industry. First Linux is critical evaluated and placed opposite the Microsoft operating systems. Than some substantial new influences on the development and production in the computer industry are worked out. On the one hand this are modifications in the production chain of computers and on the other hand network effects (externalization), which proceed from these products. On the basis of this new economic situation the Linux phenomenon is explained and it is shown from which the great importance of Microsoft in the computer industry results at present.

The article analyzes the experience of teaching informatics in a comprehensive Moscow school in a distance form in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Of all the variety of problems and issues generated by the pandemic, the issue of choosing the optimal system and application software to support the learning process stands out. The possibility of using various types of domestic free operating systems for these purposes is analyzed, and their brief comparative characteristics are given. It's considered what kind of application software, which is included in the distribution of the Alt Education 9 operating system, can be used to support the teaching of all topics of the informatics course in primary, secondary and high school. The advantages of the Alt Education 9 operating system over similar domestic operating systems are listed, and the conclusion is drawn about the need to select this type of operating system as the optimal option for implementing the educational process in a remote form.

The article explores the state of dominant situation in digital markets from the point of view of Russian and foreign legislation.The conclusion is justified that traditional antitrust measures of the dominant situation (including those related to collective dominance) cannot be applied to the digital market, since market shares and concentration ratios based on market shares will not be significant indicators in the market environment.It is proposed to use new criteria for determining the dominant position of a subject in the digital market, for example, direct and indirect network effects, parallel use of a service from different suppliers, etc.

Perangkat lunak (software) adalah istilah khusus untuk data yang diformat, dan disimpan secara digital. Perangkat lunak tersusun atas program yang menentukan apa yang harus dilakukan oleh komputer. Komputer harus melaksanakan instruksi yang terdapat dalam program untuk mendapatkan hasil yang berguna. Ada dua macam perangkat lunak yaitu sistem software dan application software. Sistem software berguna untuk mengatur file, me-load dan mengeksekusi program serta menerima perintah dari mouse atau keyboard. Sistem software biasa disebut dengan sistem operasi (operating system). Sedang application software adalah software yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan suatu pekerjaan. Contoh application software adalah Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel. Software is a special term for data that is formatted, and stored digitally. Software is composed of programs that determine what the computer must do. The computer must carry out the instructions contained in the program to get useful results. There are two types of software, namely system software and application software. The software system is useful for managing files, loading and executing programs and receiving commands from the mouse or keyboard.Software systems are commonly referred to as operating systems. Being application software is software used to complete a job. Examples of application software are Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel.

Server configurations described in Chapter V are operated by server operating systems. Server-based application software and business-critical applications are installed on these platforms. Taken together, they form what is called “server operating environment,” the hardware-operating system platform responsible for running business applications and keeping “business in business.” Chapter VI explains in more details server operating systems and their role in ensuring continuous computing and hence business continuity.

The wearable technology is carefully expected as a next generation business platform which can lead to changes from the smartphone-based hardware and software market. In this paper, we consider whether wearable computing environment with unlimited potential would require an operating system or not by comparing with other computing environment such as a general-purpose computer. In addition, a brief history of wearable technology and the necessity of studying about operating systems for highly merged wearable devices with software systems will be discussed. We also review the features of existing operating systems in different computing environments and discuss the elements that a wearable operating system should have.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a growing research area as a large of number portable devices are being developed. This fact makes operating systems (OS) useful to homogenize the development of these devices, to reduce design times, and to provide tools for developing complex applications. This work presents an operating system scheduler for resource-constraint wireless devices, which adapts the tasks scheduling in changing environments. The proposed adaptive scheduler allows dynamically delaying the execution of low priority tasks while maintaining real-time capabilities on high priority ones. Therefore, the scheduler is useful in nodes with rechargeable batteries, as it reduces its energy consumption when battery level is low, by delaying the least critical tasks. The adaptive scheduler has been implemented and tested in real nodes, and the results show that the nodes lifetime could be increased up to 70% in some scenarios at the expense of increasing latency of low priority tasks.
