Windows es el sistema operativo más usado. Comenzó en 1983 y pasó por varias versiones clave como Windows 95, que fue el primero en considerarse un sistema operativo completo, y Windows XP, que mejoró la seguridad. La interfaz principal incluye el Escritorio, la Barra de Tareas y el Menú Inicio.
The Windows XP architecture consists of several main system components including the kernel, executive, and subsystems. The kernel handles low-level tasks like thread scheduling, interrupts, and power management. The executive layer includes the object manager, virtual memory manager, process manager, I/O manager, and plug-and-play manager. The object manager tracks object usage. The virtual memory manager uses 4KB pages and a two-step allocation process. The process manager handles processes and threads. The I/O manager controls file systems, devices, and network drivers. The plug-and-play manager loads drivers and manages hardware resources.
Windows 2.0 was a 16-bit graphical user interface released by Microsoft in October 1987 that allowed overlapping application windows.

Subsequent versions of Windows 2.0 improved support for Intel processors, memory management, and number of supported printers. Windows 2.11, the final version, added driver updates before being superseded by Windows 3.0 in May 1990.
Windows 3.0 was a major release of the Windows operating system that improved performance and graphics over previous versions. It included new programs like Program Manager and File Manager, supported 16-color graphics, and could run on 80286 and 80386 processors. Windows 3.0 was widely adopted and helped Microsoft become a powerful rival to Apple and Commodore in the GUI market.

1) Windows uses demand paging and clustering to handle page faults, bringing in surrounding pages along with the faulting page.
2) Virtual memory allows programs to access more space than physical RAM by paging parts of programs and data to a page file on disk as needed.
3) A page fault occurs when a program tries to access a virtual page that is not currently mapped to physical memory, triggering the page to be loaded from the page file.
Windows 2000 was introduced in 1999 as a new operating system in the NT family. It was more stable than Windows NT 4 and included many new features from Windows 98 like a My Documents folder and My Network Places folder on the desktop. Some key new features included system file protection, USB support, easier troubleshooting options, encrypted file system for security, and power management features. The desktop interface provided access to common programs and files through icons, the taskbar, and start menu.
