'''Category:Windows''' — Windows™ is a proprietary (meaning 'paid for', or {{tag|commercial}}) {{tag|operating system}} (OS) for {{tag|computers}}, developed, updated, and marketed by {{tag|Microsoft|Microsoft Corporation}}. Originally developed for use on desktop computers with {{tag|Intel}} microcontrollers, which were then using a text-based operating system called MS-DOS, short for 'Microsoft disk operating system' (itself a fundamental copy of the earlier DR-DOS), 'windows' based operating systems were a quantum leap in terms of usabiliy (initially) and capability (subsequently); due to it changing from the then existing text-based OS, to a visually pleasing '{{tag|graphical user interface}}', commonly abbreviated GUI. | |||
Today, Microsoft Windows is standard installation on a massive array of laptops, along with the more traditional desktop computers. Crucially, MS Windows was developed to work on chipsets from {{Wp|AMD}} as well as its original Intel chips. | |||
