Microsoft Windows is an operating system. MicrosoftCorporation make it. You've used it. You probably disliked something about it.
Quoth orj: "it's something we all love to hate"
''...except for GreigMcGill, who does NOT love to hate it, he just wishes it would go away, thus making everybody's life more pleasant, and the field of technical support a lot less like pin the tail on the donkey...''
WlugIncorporated is about advocating Linux, and providing honest comparisons, not FearUncertaintyDoubt comparisons. Don't say ''Windows is teh sucks'' because then you look like an idiot.

* __Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition/Millenium Edition__: Still sat on top of [DOS], but pretended not to. 98SE still popular today with gamers as many games written for it don't run well on the newer, NT-kernel-based versions
* __Windows NT: __ In 19?? Microsoft decided to abandon their participation in [IBM]'s [OS/2] project and instead decided to create Windows NT. Microsoft's latest Windows NT derived OS is Windows XP.
* __Windows 2000__: 1999. What I consider to be the best release of Windows so far. But even then it isn't so great. It sold well. Available in a number of varieties such as; Professional as a workstation; Server; Advanced Server; and Datacenter.
* __Windows XP__: 2001. Microsoft's current drug of choice. Comes in a number of varieties (Home, Professional, Embedded) etc. See also; [eXtraPants]

* __Windows 2003__: You can basically call this XP Server. It's easier to setup than Windows 2000 Server, and it looks and feels like Windows XP. No workstation version available at the moment (See Windows XP)
