  • Abstract
    To select an operating system, an organization must consider several essential characteristics during its initial evaluation process. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) offers an appropriate solution; the author illustrates it with a realistic case study in which an organization evaluates and ranks Windows XP, Linux, and Mac OS X 10.4.
