What is Windows ?

You know allot of people today at the age of 30 or younger would have a good common sense idea of what Windows is!

People like my father for example still have difficulty understanding it! It's really not that complicated!

Windows is really called Microsoft Windows because it comes from a company called Microsoft.

Microsoft Windows is a form of software that is designed/build/written to let you use/install/run other software on it(Word,Real Player,QuickTime,VLC,Firefox,EA Games and etc..)

Microsoft Windows is an Operating System, which does exactly that, helping Operate a Computer System! It helps run all the devices(Motherboard,cd/dvd rom, Video Cards, Sound Cards, Memory, AMD/Intel Processors, Hard Disks and etc...) on the computer that makes it a computer!

Microsoft Windows has been around for quite sometime they are well known since Windows NT 3.1, 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and I cant imagine whats next!

For those who are curious what Windows is! Hopefully now you have a better idea of What is Windows?
