Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows is a GUI (Graphical User Interface). It is the foundation upon which this and other programs operate.

When you turn your computer on, the operating system (MSDOS) loads first. Once the operating system is loaded, you can load Microsoft Windows. When Microsoft Windows is running, you can run this and other Windows applications.
