Operating System
Windows When referring to an
operating system, Windows or win is an operating environment
created by Microsoft that provides an interface, known as a Graphical User Interface (GUI), for computers. Windows eliminates the need to memorize commands for the command line (MS-DOS) by using a mouse to navigate through menus, dialog boxes, buttons, tabs, and icons.

Windows 1.0 Like many early
versions, Windows 1.0, was essentially a program that ran
on top of DOS. The system wasn’t released until two years after its first announcement, leading to suggestions that Windows was vaporware and would never actually appear.

Windows XP was released as
the first NT-based system with a version aimed squarely
at the home user. XP was rated highly by both users and critics. The system improved Windows’ appearance with themes, and offered a stable platform.

Windows Vista was a highly
hyped release that spent a lot of developmental and
computer resources on appearance. The dedication of resources might have resulted from the fact that XP was starting to look archaic in comparison to Mac OS. Vista had interesting visual effects but was slow to start and run.

Windows 7 is built on
the Vista kernel. Windows 7 had the visuals of Vista with
better start up and program speed. It was easier on memory and more reliable. To many end users, the biggest changes between Vista and Windows 7 are faster boot times, new user interfaces and the addition of Internet Explorer 8.

Operating System
Windows 8 was released with
a number of enhancements and the new Metro UI. Windows 8
takes better advantage of multi-core processing, solid state drives (SSD), touch screens and other alternate input methods. However users found it awkward, like switching between an interface made for a touch screen and one made for a mouse -- with neither one entirely suited to the purpose. Generally Windows 7 retained market leadership.
