Microsoft Windows requires a primary partition during installation to store its files. It uses file systems like FAT, FAT32, and NTFS and is a multi-tasking, multi-user operating system. The system folder is called Windows32 and contains the registry database and system settings. Devices are labeled with unit numbers and default files are saved in Documents and Settings. Windows was designed from the start to be graphical and used with a mouse.

2. Windows requires primary partition in the installation phase to be
performed
since it's start-up. File systems are often used type of FAT, FAT32 and
NTFS.
The system is multi-tasking and multi-user serial.
The system folder is notoriously Windows32.
The system is known to have the registry as basic data for setting,
system options as well as a reference for the installed applications.
The system devices are labeled by the system with the term unit. The
default files are saved in the default folder documents and setting.
Windows is a graphical operating system from the outset, designed
to be
used with the mouse, and unlike Unix systems the GUI is an essential
component not optional. Only in early versions of Windows NT the
graphics
subsystem was operating in user mode, but since version 4.0 was

3. Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell
BASIC interpreters for Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating
system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed byMicrosoft Windows. The
company's 1986 initial public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created
three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees.
Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and
has made a number of corporate acquisitions. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype
Technologies for $8.5 billion in its largest acquisition to date.
Microsoft entered the OS business in 1980 with its own version of Unix, called
Xenix.However, it was MS-DOS that solidified the company's dominance. After
negotiations with Digital Research failed, IBM awarded a contract to Microsoft in
November 1980 to provide a version of the CP/M OS, which was set to be used in the
upcoming IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC).For this deal, Microsoft purchased a CP/M
clone called 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products, branding it as MS-DOS, which
IBM rebranded to PC DOS. Following the release of the IBM PC in August 1981,
Microsoft retained ownership of MS-DOS. Since IBM copyrighted the IBM PC BIOS,
other companies had to reverse engineer it in order for non-IBM hardware to run as IBM
PC compatibles, but no such restriction applied to the operating systems. Due to
various factors, such as MS-DOS's available software selection, Microsoft eventually
became the leading PC operating systems vendor.The company expanded into new

4. Windows is used by office workers and all the normal people because
windows is a very versatil operating system and windows can support many
programs and it is the most used operating system but it is the principal
target of hackers.
Go to any retail establishment that sells software and you will see Windows
titles.
Go to any retail establishment that sells computer hardware and everything
works with Windows.
Keyboards, mice, digital cameras, camcorders, printers, MP3 players and so
on.
All of that stuff works with Windows.
When you run Windows you have far more choices of where to shop for the
stuff you want to install or plug in to your computer.
No other OS has as much choice and this is undisputed.
You can try Linux because it’s free. But you’ll fast discover that the stuff that
works in Windows without complaint is a nightmare to get working under
Linux.
