The Windows Operating System

Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical Operating Systems developed and published by Microsoft. The platform was first introduced in 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS. Over the following decades, Windows evolved from a simple overlay into a robust environment powered by the Windows NT kernel. Notable versions that defined eras of computing include Windows 95, Windows XP, and Windows 7. Today, Windows 11 serves as the latest iteration, offering integrated features like Microsoft Teams and DirectX for gaming. According to the official Microsoft website, the OS is designed for both Personal Computing and professional workstations. Market share data from StatCounter indicates its continued dominance in the desktop market.
