Windows is our most favourite computer operating system. Come on, let’s confess it, despite of a strong argument in favour of Linux and the presence of the Macboys, Windows have around 90% of PC operating system market. A monopoly in an open market tells us how good Microsoft has been in PC operating system.
Their success started early when they came up with Windows 1.0. However, their masterstroke was the Windows 95 which made it possible to use GUI to accomplish every bit of computing. That freed computers from the geeks and made it available for everyone, even the housewife who never touched a computer in her life. Then they followed up with their even advanced version, Windows 98 which came with more hardware support, even more in-depth GUI computing and many newer features.
Windows XP came next and was the most successful and loved operating system from Microsoft till now. Even when the official support has ended for Windows XP, many computers are still running on it. However, the next few versions of Windows suffered as Microsoft either failed to deliver something new or simply messed up. Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows Vista are some of the failures which Microsoft met before they came up with Windows 7 which again was loved by the users. Then they brought Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 which both failed miserably. Their latest offering is the all new Windows 10 and many users are swiftly opting for Windows 8 to 10 migration after the horrible experience they had with Windows 8.
