Software developers consider the end users' experiences in their works, including features that offer the needed expertise to their customers. However, most operating systems have almost similar capabilities, and they offer nearly complementary services to their users. However, special features can be incorporated and integrated into the system as times and needs change since the system was first developed. These changes follow the systems development to enhance compatibility and safeguard the system against vulnerabilities and hacking threats. At the present times and the times ahead, users would prefer software with all features that make work easier, improve user experience, and offer almost all service needs at a button click (Turban et al., 2018).
