1.2 Current system

The current Huawei is still using the old operating system in its computers. The old operating system is window 95. Window 95 is a graphical OS which is designed for workstation. It has switched from 16-bit architecture to a preemptive multitasked 32-bit architecture. It has redesigned graphical interface. Learning and using window 95 is easy. The efficiency and manipulation have become better and better. It has print support with faster disk/file access. Employers can print data quickly. Employers can use task bar to switch multiple programs, so they can start to run applications and open documents easily. It also comes with multimedia support that has built-in support for midi, sound, digital video playback and fast CD-ROMs. However, the current old OS system may cause many problems. Because Windows 95 only can install some limited old version applications. And it also lacks of many functions. When customers ask some information from employers of Huawei, employers spend a lot of time to search. Some data cannot install because of not consistent with old version of Windows 95.

1.3 Problem background

The current system has some disadvantages. The drawback of window 95 can be found as below: 1. Windows 95 does not have hibernation function which is designed to save energy. 2. Windows 95 is not support Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Scalability. 3. Windows 95 memory is small. The maximum physical RAM that Windows 95 supports is 1 GB. 4. Windows 95 is supported FAT16. FAT16 is not better than NTFS. 5. Windows 95 does not support USB mass storage device class. 6. Windows 95 does not support hard disks larger than 32GB. 7. Windows Desktop Update, Internet Explorer5 or 6(IE) and Outlook Express are not supported by Windows 95. 8. Windows 95 does not support remote services.
