Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating systems and graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft.
Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced previously.
As of October 2009, Windows had approximately 91% of the market share of the client operating systems for usage on the Internet.
The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7.

Open Source OS Closed Source OS
- True-open-source development requires that a community of software engineers band together to work on the software. -The idea is that more minds create better software.
- Owned by someone (or some organization) and distributed through a variety of retail channels including the owner's website. - If the program is in the form of shareware, a fully functional version of the program can be installed and run. - There may be a limited period of time after which the software will disable itself
Include source code for those interested in peering into how the program does what it does and possibly contributing to the development effort.
The source code is not usually included. The buyer pays for the right to use the program but does not own it
