`Windows
`
`window A rectangular portion of a display screen set aside for a specific
`purpose. Many operating systems and applications that have graphi(cid:173)
`cal user interfaces allow the user to divide the display screen into sev(cid:173)
`eral windows and work with a different file or part of a file within
`each one. In multitasking environments, which can run several pro(cid:173)
`grams at once, each window can display output from a different pro(cid:173)
`gram. To enter input into a particular file or program, the user clicks
`on the file or program's window to bring it into the foreground.
`Each window often has its own menu or other controls, as for size,
`shape, and positioning. A window can be reduced to an icon repre(cid:173)
`senting the program running in the window in order to save space
`on the display screen. The icon can then be expanded back to a
`window. See also overlaid window, pop, tiled windows, zoom.
`windowing Designating an environment that allows you to create
`windows. Operating systems for Apple Macintosh computers and
`Microsoft Windows, for example, offer a windowing environment.
`Windows Any of a series of graphical user interfaces or GUI-based op(cid:173)
`erating developed by Microsoft Corporation, in use in 90 percent of
`all computers sold today. Originally designed to run as a GUI over
`DOS, the newest edition, Windows ME (Millennium Edition) has no
`DOS support. Application programs must be written to run specifi(cid:173)
`cally under Windows. This results in a consistent look-and-feel for
`all programs, based on pull-down menus, icons, and (of course)
`windows. All programs are able to use the tools and common file
`formats provided by Windows, which allows data and graphics to
`be easily transferred from one program to another. Windows sup(cid:173)
`ports multitasking, the running of more than one program at the
`same time. Windows also takes full advantage of the protected
`mode offered by the Intel Pentium microprocessors, using extended
`memory to run more powerful applications.
`The family of Windows operating systems developed by Microsoft
`includes Microsoft Windows, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98,
`Windows 2000, and Windows ME. Both Windows NT and Windows
`95 and later versions, unlike Microsoft Windows, do not rely upon the
`presence of MS-DOS and are true operating systems. They also sup(cid:173)
`port the 32-bit AP! Win 32, and take full advantage of the 32-bit pro(cid:173)
`cessing offered by the Intel and AMO families of microprocessors.
`Microsoft Windows has enabled IBM PC and compatible com(cid:173)
