How single software of windows or linux gets installed on all computers?

windows and linux are written in C language but C is machine dependent ,so how the single copy of windows gets installed on all computers.

I'm not sure what you mean - you're not very clear as of what you're talking about. But if you're talking about several machines having an application/software being installed at once (usually with no supervision), it's being installed remotely (aka: networked) - but then again, I'm not sure what you're asking :(
Reply:i use linux, and theres dozens of different distro´s...





but linux is free, open source programming... and they give it away...





which is good because XP/vista sucks
Reply:There are different versions dependent upon your processor, and that's the most important part. If you install Linux on a Sun box, you need the distro that's compiled for that architecture. Luckily the AMD chips mimic Intel chips, so the version compiled for the x86 architecture works on both.
Reply:Windows operates on top of what is known as a HAL or Hardware Application Layer which interfaces the compiled operating system code with the BIOS/Hardware of the target machine.
Reply:Computer languages such as "C", "Java", "Ada" are "mostly" machine independant. Once a program is written it is then compiled using a compiler designed for a particular machine. In this way an application written in "C" can be compiled for an x86 range processor (Pentiums etc) or an Apple motorola or PowerPC or even a Unix machine. Actually its not quite as simple as this but languages are just the bit people use, the computer doesn't run "C" it runs the machine code that is compiled from a program written in "C" (that we wouldn't be able to read).





Im not sure that windows is written in "C", its more likely a combination of lots of languages.. The language used isn't very important actually. Unix and variants have been traditionally written in "C", whether that is still true i have no idea.
Reply:I don't think any OS is written 100% in C.
Reply:An Operating System disk is used but each specific computer gets loaded with their specific drivers. For instance, at my work we load each system with the base operating system such as Windows XP and then we load specific drivers that came with that computer such as the network, video, and audio drivers. Does this help? Good luck. :%26gt;)
