'''Microsoft Windows''' is a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]] since 1983. The latest version as of 2017-07 is [[Windows:10-RS2|Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703)]].<br />
<br />
The first versions of Windows were an operating environment for [[Microsoft_DOS|DOS]]. Later versions (9x) used DOS as a bootstrapper. Any version of Windows that uses the NT Kernel does not rely on MS-DOS.<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Classic Windows ===<br />
[[File:Win101.png|thumb|195px|Windows 1.01, the very first version of Windows released]]<br />
Microsoft Windows debuted to the world on the Fall COMDEX 1983 computer expo as an operating environment running on top MS-DOS. The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />
<br />
A major update called [[Windows 2.x|Windows 2.0]] was released in 1987 adding features such as overlapping windows. This version also introduced support for the Video Graphics Array and PS/2 mouse. A separate edition called Windows/386 was introduced taking advantage of the new abilities of the 386 processor. In later revisions of the Windows 2.0 environment the original edition was renamed Windows/286.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 3.0]] was released in 1990 and it became the first widely successful version of Windows. The new features included a completely reworked Setup program, and a new 3D user interface centered around a new shell called the Program Manager. The previously separate 286 and 386 editions of Windows were unified into one. This version of Windows was able to operate in three modes: Real mode intended for computers with the original 8088/8086 processor, Standard mode using the protected mode feature of the 286 processor, and 386 Enhanced mode combining the improved protected mode of the 386 with its ability to create and manage virtual 8086 machines for MS-DOS applications.<br />
<br />
A major update dubbed [[Windows 3.1]] followed in 1992 with the brand new red-green-blue-yellow Windows logo resembling a flag. The user interface was refreshed in this release, including new colorful icons. This version of Windows removed the real mode of operation and the MS-DOS Executive application. It was accompanied with a variant called Windows for Workgroups (WfW) 3.1 with an integrated networking capability, which later received a larger update bringing its version number up to 3.11, introducing 32-bit disk access and also removing the Standard mode of operation. The regular variant of Windows also received the 3.11 update, however it only contained small bug fixes.<br />
<br />
A 32-bit TCP/IP stack was ported from an early version of [[Windows 95]] and released in 1994 as a downloadable plugin for WfW 3.11, providing early testing for the 16/32-bit compability features of the next version of Windows.<br />
<br />
====Windows 9x====<br />
[[File:Windows 95 RTM-2015-02-26-11-20-38.png|thumb|195px|Windows 95, the first version with the Start menu and taskbar]]<br />
On 1995-08-24 Microsoft released [[Windows 95]] also known under its codename "Chicago" with a brand new user interface with a Start menu, taskbar and the desktop. Its hybrid 16/32-bit architecture made it possible to make and run 32-bit Windows applications and drivers while keeping a great degree of compatibility with already existing 16-bit ones. Among other improvements in this version was the support for long filenames through an extension to the FAT16 file system. <br />
<br />
Windows 95 was the first release of Windows to be packed together with a specific MS-DOS version, however, the old operating system was used only as a boot loader and a compatibility layer for ancient device drivers. Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 1998-06-25 with the release of [[Windows 98]] codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate Internet Explorer deeply to the operating system's user interface as a part of the Windows Desktop Update. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface. A feature called Active Desktop made it even possible to set a webpage as the desktop background. Under the hood Windows 98 introduced the new Windows Driver Model, which enabled the use of the same drivers on Windows 9x as well as on the radically different Windows NT based operating systems.<br />
<br />
A year later, Windows 98 received an update which was called the Second Edition, which included a new version of Internet Explorer, added Internet Connection Sharing and improved USB support.<br />
<br />
In 2000 [[Windows:ME|Windows ME]] (Millenium Edition), the last release of the classic Windows line saw the light of the world. It included the improvements to the user interface from [[Windows 2000]]. Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancellation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by the NT-based [[Windows XP]] a year later.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
Windows NT (New Technology) is the current iteration of Windows. It is built on the NT hybrid kernel (hence the name), which was originally intended for use in OS/2 3.0 but was rewritten after the Microsoft - IBM split. The first release based on the new kernel was [[Windows:NT3.1|Windows NT 3.1]], the version number of which was chosen to not be 1.0 to ensure eventual customers wouldn't consider it inferior to [[Windows:3.1|Windows 3.1]], its DOS-based counterpart. All NT-based releases up until [[Windows:2000|Windows 2000]] were intended primarily for business use. With [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]], the NT series merged with Windows 9x, creating a single operating system for consumers and businesses. [[WindowsPhone:8|Windows Phone 8]] is the first Windows Phone release to be based on the NT kernel. The most recent version of Windows based on the NT kernel is [[Windows:10|Windows 10]]. Following the release of Windows 10, Microsoft have switched to a system of more frequent smaller updates to Windows.<br />

The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />
<br />
A major update called [[Windows 2.x|Windows 2.0]] was released in 1987 adding features such as overlapping windows. This version also introduced support for the Video Graphics Array and PS/2 mouse. A separate edition called Windows/386 was introduced taking advantage of the new abilities of the 386 processor.

<br />
A major update dubbed [[Windows 3.1]] followed in 1992 with the brand new red-green-blue-yellow Windows logo resembling a flag. The user interface was refreshed in this release, including new colorful icons. This version of Windows removed the real mode of operation and the MS-DOS Executive application. It was accompanied with a variant called Windows for Workgroups (WfW) 3.1 with an integrated networking capability, which later received a larger update bringing its version number up to 3.11, introducing 32-bit disk access and also removing the Standard mode of operation. The regular variant of Windows also received the 3.11 update, however it only contained small bug fixes.<br />
<br />
A 32-bit TCP/IP stack was ported from an early version of [[Windows 95]] and released in 1994 as a downloadable plugin for WfW 3.11, providing early testing for the 16/32-bit compability features of the next version of Windows.<br />
<br />
====Windows 9x====<br />
[[File:Windows 95 RTM-2015-02-26-11-20-38.png|thumb|195px|Windows 95, the first version with the Start menu and taskbar]]<br />

Its hybrid 16/32-bit architecture made it possible to make and run 32-bit Windows applications and drivers while keeping a great degree of compatibility with already existing 16-bit ones. Among other improvements in this version was the support for long filenames through an extension to the FAT16 file system. <br />
<br />
Windows 95 was the first release of Windows to be packed together with a specific MS-DOS version, however, the old operating system was used only as a boot loader and a compatibility layer for ancient device drivers. Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 1998-06-25 with the release of [[Windows 98]] codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate Internet Explorer deeply to the operating system's user interface as a part of the Windows Desktop Update. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface. A feature called Active Desktop made it even possible to set a webpage as the desktop background.

It included the improvements to the user interface from [[Windows 2000]]. Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancellation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by the NT-based [[Windows XP]] a year later.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
Windows NT (New Technology) is the current iteration of Windows. It is built on the NT hybrid kernel (hence the name), which was originally intended for use in OS/2 3.0 but was rewritten after the Microsoft - IBM split. The first release based on the new kernel was [[Windows:NT3.1|Windows NT 3.1]], the version number of which was chosen to not be 1.0 to ensure eventual customers wouldn't consider it inferior to [[Windows:3.1|Windows 3.1]], its DOS-based counterpart.

<div>[[Category:Operating Systems]]<br />
'''Microsoft Windows''' is a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]] since 1983. The latest version as of 2017-07 is [[Windows:10-RS2|Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703)]].<br />
<br />
The first versions of Windows were an operating environment for [[Microsoft_DOS|DOS]]. Later versions (9x) used DOS as a bootstrapper. Any version of Windows that uses the NT Kernel does not rely on MS-DOS.<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Classic Windows ===<br />
[[File:Win101.png|thumb|195px|Windows 1.01, the very first version of Windows released]]<br />
Microsoft Windows debuted to the world on the Fall COMDEX 1983 computer expo as an operating environment running on top MS-DOS. The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />
<br />
A major update called [[Windows 2.x|Windows 2.0]] was released in 1987 adding features such as overlapping windows. This version also introduced support for the Video Graphics Array and PS/2 mouse. A separate edition called Windows/386 was introduced taking advantage of the new abilities of the 386 processor. In later revisions of the Windows 2.0 environment the original edition was renamed Windows/286.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 3.0]] was released in 1990 and it became the first widely successful version of Windows. The new features included a completely reworked Setup program, and a new 3D user interface centered around a new shell called the Program Manager. The previously separate 286 and 386 editions of Windows were unified into one. This version of Windows was able to operate in three modes: Real mode intended for computers with the original 8088/8086 processor, Standard mode using the protected mode feature of the 286 processor, and 386 Enhanced mode combining the improved protected mode of the 386 with its ability to create and manage virtual 8086 machines for MS-DOS applications.<br />
<br />
A major update dubbed [[Windows 3.1]] followed in 1992 with the brand new red-green-blue-yellow Windows logo resembling a flag. The user interface was refreshed in this release, including new colorful icons. This version of Windows removed the real mode of operation and the MS-DOS Executive application. It was accompanied with a variant called Windows for Workgroups (WfW) 3.1 with an integrated networking capability, which later received a larger update bringing its version number up to 3.11, introducing 32-bit disk access and also removing the Standard mode of operation. The regular variant of Windows also received the 3.11 update, however it only contained small bug fixes.<br />
<br />
A 32-bit TCP/IP stack was ported from an early version of [[Windows 95]] and released in 1994 as a downloadable plugin for WfW 3.11, providing early testing for the 16/32-bit compability features of the next version of Windows.<br />
<br />
====Windows 9x====<br />
[[File:Windows 95 RTM-2015-02-26-11-20-38.png|thumb|195px|Windows 95, the first version with the Start menu and taskbar]]<br />
On 1995-08-24 Microsoft released [[Windows 95]] also known under its codename "Chicago" with a brand new user interface with a Start menu, taskbar and the desktop. Its hybrid 16/32-bit architecture made it possible to make and run 32-bit Windows applications and drivers while keeping a great degree of compatibility with already existing 16-bit ones. Among other improvements in this version was the support for long filenames through an extension to the FAT16 file system. <br />
<br />
Windows 95 was the first release of Windows to be packed together with a specific MS-DOS version, however, the old operating system was used only as a boot loader and a compatibility layer for ancient device drivers. Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 1998-06-25 with the release of [[Windows 98]] codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate Internet Explorer deeply to the operating system's user interface as a part of the Windows Desktop Update. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface. A feature called Active Desktop made it even possible to set a webpage as the desktop background. Under the hood Windows 98 introduced the new Windows Driver Model, which enabled the use of the same drivers on Windows 9x as well as on the radically different Windows NT based operating systems.<br />
<br />
A year later, Windows 98 received an update which was called the Second Edition, which included a new version of Internet Explorer, added Internet Connection Sharing and improved USB support.<br />
<br />
In 2000 [[Windows:ME|Windows ME]] (Millenium Edition), the last release of the classic Windows line saw the light of the world. It included the improvements to the user interface from [[Windows 2000]]. Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancellation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by the NT-based [[Windows XP]] a year later.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
Windows NT (New Technology) is the current iteration of Windows. It is built on the NT hybrid kernel (hence the name), which was originally intended for use in OS/2 3.0 but was rewritten after the Microsoft - IBM split. The first release based on the new kernel was [[Windows:NT3.1|Windows NT 3.1]], the version number of which was chosen to not be 1.0 to ensure eventual customers wouldn't consider it inferior to [[Windows:3.1|Windows 3.1]], its DOS-based counterpart. All NT-based releases up until [[Windows:2000|Windows 2000]] were intended primarily for business use. With [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]], the NT series merged with Windows 9x, creating a single operating system for consumers and businesses. [[WindowsPhone:8|Windows Phone 8]] is the first Windows Phone release to be based on the NT kernel. The most recent version of Windows based on the NT kernel is [[Windows:10|Windows 10]]. Following the release of Windows 10, Microsoft have switched to a system of more frequent smaller updates to Windows.<br />

The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />

A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />

<div>[[Category:Operating Systems]]<br />
'''Microsoft Windows''' is a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]] since 1983. The latest version as of 2017-07 is [[Windows:10-RS2|Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703)]].<br />
<br />
The first versions of Windows were an operating environment for [[Microsoft_DOS|DOS]]. Later versions (9x) used DOS as a bootstrapper. Any version of Windows that uses the NT Kernel does not rely on MS-DOS.<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Classic Windows ===<br />
[[File:Win101.png|thumb|195px|Windows 1.01, the very first version of Windows released]]<br />
Microsoft Windows debuted to the world on the Fall COMDEX 1983 computer expo as an operating environment running on top MS-DOS. The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />
<br />
A major update called [[Windows 2.x|Windows 2.0]] was released in 1987 adding features such as overlapping windows. This version also introduced support for the Video Graphics Array and PS/2 mouse. A separate edition called Windows/386 was introduced taking advantage of the new abilities of the 386 processor. In later revisions of the Windows 2.0 environment the original edition was renamed Windows/286.<br />
<br />
[[Windows 3.0]] was released in 1990 and it became the first widely successful version of Windows. The new features included a completely reworked Setup program, and a new 3D user interface centered around a new shell called the Program Manager. The previously separate 286 and 386 editions of Windows were unified into one. This version of Windows was able to operate in three modes: Real mode intended for computers with the original 8088/8086 processor, Standard mode using the protected mode feature of the 286 processor, and 386 Enhanced mode combining the improved protected mode of the 386 with its ability to create and manage virtual 8086 machines for MS-DOS applications.<br />
<br />
A major update dubbed [[Windows 3.1]] followed in 1992 with the brand new red-green-blue-yellow Windows logo resembling a flag. The user interface was refreshed in this release, including new colorful icons. This version of Windows removed the real mode of operation and the MS-DOS Executive application. It was accompanied with a variant called Windows for Workgroups (WfW) 3.1 with an integrated networking capability, which later received a larger update bringing its version number up to 3.11, introducing 32-bit disk access and also removing the Standard mode of operation. The regular variant of Windows also received the 3.11 update, however it only contained small bug fixes.<br />
<br />
A 32-bit TCP/IP stack was ported from an early version of [[Windows 95]] and released in 1994 as a downloadable plugin for WfW 3.11, providing early testing for the 16/32-bit compability features of the next version of Windows.<br />
<br />
====Windows 9x====<br />
[[File:Windows 95 RTM-2015-02-26-11-20-38.png|thumb|195px|Windows 95, the first version with the Start menu and taskbar]]<br />
On 1995-08-24 Microsoft released [[Windows 95]] also known under its codename "Chicago" with a brand new user interface with a Start menu, taskbar and the desktop. Its hybrid 16/32-bit architecture made it possible to make and run 32-bit Windows applications and drivers while keeping a great degree of compatibility with already existing 16-bit ones. Among other improvements in this version was the support for long filenames through an extension to the FAT16 file system. <br />
<br />
Windows 95 was the first release of Windows to be packed together with a specific MS-DOS version, however, the old operating system was used only as a boot loader and a compatibility layer for ancient device drivers. Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 1998-06-25 with the release of [[Windows 98]] codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate Internet Explorer deeply to the operating system's user interface as a part of the Windows Desktop Update. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface. A feature called Active Desktop made it even possible to set a webpage as the desktop background. Under the hood Windows 98 introduced the new Windows Driver Model, which enabled the use of the same drivers on Windows 9x as well as on the radically different Windows NT based operating systems.<br />
<br />
A year later, Windows 98 received an update which was called the Second Edition, which included a new version of Internet Explorer, added Internet Connection Sharing and improved USB support.<br />
<br />
In 2000 [[Windows:ME|Windows ME]] (Millenium Edition), the last release of the classic Windows line saw the light of the world. It included the improvements to the user interface from [[Windows 2000]]. Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancellation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by the NT-based [[Windows XP]] a year later.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
Windows NT (New Technology) is the current iteration of Windows. It is built on the NT hybrid kernel (hence the name), which was originally intended for use in OS/2 3.0 but was rewritten after the Microsoft - IBM split. The first release based on the new kernel was [[Windows:NT3.1|Windows NT 3.1]], the version number of which was chosen to not be 1.0 to ensure eventual customers wouldn't consider it inferior to [[Windows:3.1|Windows 3.1]], its DOS-based counterpart. All NT-based releases up until [[Windows:2000|Windows 2000]] were intended primarily for business use. With [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]], the NT series merged with Windows 9x, creating a single operating system for consumers and businesses. [[WindowsPhone:8|Windows Phone 8]] is the first Windows Phone release to be based on the NT kernel. The most recent version of Windows based on the NT kernel is [[Windows:10|Windows 10]]. Following the release of Windows 10, Microsoft have switched to a system of more frequent smaller updates to Windows.<br />

The final version of the product with the version number of 1.01 was later released on 1985-11-20 and did not gain much popularity. [[Windows 1.0]] was a cooperative multitasking desktop environment with a tiling window manager. Applications included in the first version of Windows included Calculator, Cardfile, Clipboard Viewer, Clock, Control Panel, MS-DOS Executive, Notepad, Reversi, Spooler, Terminal, and Microsoft Write. Three minor updates were released in the two following years adding support for more hardware.<br />

Most MS-DOS user applications were either extended with Windows code or entirely replaced with a Windows version, keeping only the ones that were required to run without Windows, e.g. during the OS installation, such as <code>FDISK</code> and <code>FORMAT</code>.<br />
<br />
During its lifetime Windows 95 saw several larger updates dubbed the OEM Service Releases (OSR) that were released only to computer manufacturers, specifically OSR 1.0, OSR 2.0, OSR 2.1, and OSR 2.5. A Service Pack was also released that updated a RTM copy of Windows 95 to the OSR 1.0 level. In 1997 a USB Supplement was released for OSR 2.x that added support for the then new Universal Serial Bus interface.<br />
<br />
The classic Windows line received a major update on 1998-06-25 with the release of [[Windows 98]] codenamed "Memphis". It was the first version to integrate Internet Explorer deeply to the operating system's user interface as a part of the Windows Desktop Update. Many parts of the UI started using HTML and Internet Explorer's rendering engine to present a web-like user interface.

Windows Me is based on Windows 98, however, access to the real mode MS-DOS was restricted in order to decrease boot time among other changes to the kernel. It was infamously known for its stability problems partially caused by the rushing of its release following the cancellation of the [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] project. It was replaced by the NT-based [[Windows XP]] a year later.<br />
<br />
===Windows NT===<br />
Windows NT (New Technology) is the current iteration of Windows.

<div>{{ Infobox Windows|XP }}<br />
<br />
'''Windows XP''' (codenamed ''Whistler'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released 2001-10-25. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows:2000|Windows 2000]] and preceding [[Windows:Vista|Windows Vista]]. It is one of Microsoft's longest lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still run on 29.53% (see [http://www.dailytech.com/Report+Windows+XP+Still+Running+on+Over+25+Percent+of+PCs+/article34627.htm here]) percent of desktop and laptop computers as of February. <br />
<br />
===Main changes===<br />
====User interface====<br />
Windows XP got a major UI overhaul during development, with the introduction of Themes. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, Luna. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green and silver. Users could still select the Windows Classic theme from previous versions of Windows ([[Windows:98|98]], [[Windows:2000|2000]], [[Windows:ME|ME]], ...), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.<br />
<br />
The introduction of ClearType, an anti-aliasing font function allowed easier text reading on desktop computers with LCD-TFT monitors and laptops, but also had an effect on CRT monitors.<br />
<br />
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
* ''Starter'': This version was intended for emerging markets, and was introduced in 2004, meant for low-cost PCs. It cannot launch more than 3 programs at a time and will not start up on a computer with more than 512MB RAM.<br />
* ''Home Edition'': This edition is for low to mid end PCs and can address up to 4 GB RAM. This version was also included in ULPCs, and was sold along with ''Professional''.<br />
* ''Professional'': This is the mainstream high end version, sold along with the ''Home Edition''.<br />
* ''Media Center Edition'': This version is specially for Media Center based PCs, and is not sold normally. System requirements are significantly higher than other editions. This version includes Media Center and new themes.<br />
* ''Embedded'': This version is intended for the embedded sector.<br />
* ''Tablet PC Edition'': This version was included in tablet computers from 2002-2006. This is the tablet-optimized version of Windows XP.<br />
* ''Windows XP 64-bit Edition'': This version was intended for 64-bit PCs and thus could address far more RAM amounts. One such edition was for Itanium as well. A later edition, also based on Windows Server 2003 code base, was called ''Windows XP Professional x64 Edition''. The ones called "64-bit edition" are for Itanium(IA64), while the ones called "x64 edition" are x64(AMD64).<br />
* ''N, K and KN Editions'': The N version was made for the European markets and did not include Windows Media Player; the K version was made for the Korean markets and included two shortcuts to Korean websites by default because the government insisted.<br />

'''Windows XP''' (codenamed ''Whistler'') is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released 2001-10-25. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding [[Windows:2000|Windows 2000]] and preceding [[Windows:Vista|Windows Vista]]. It is one of Microsoft's longest lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still run on 29.53% (see [http://www.dailytech.com/Report+Windows+XP+Still+Running+on+Over+25+Percent+of+PCs+/article34627.htm here]) percent of desktop and laptop computers as of February. <br />
<br />
===Main changes===<br />
====User interface====<br />
Windows XP got a major UI overhaul during development, with the introduction of Themes. Users could change the way windows and buttons looked with the new visual style, Luna. It had three color schemes, which were based on blue, green and silver. Users could still select the Windows Classic theme from previous versions of Windows ([[Windows:98|98]], [[Windows:2000|2000]], [[Windows:ME|ME]], ...), and customize the preset Windows Classic color schemes.<br />
<br />
The introduction of ClearType, an anti-aliasing font function allowed easier text reading on desktop computers with LCD-TFT monitors and laptops, but also had an effect on CRT monitors.<br />
<br />
The taskbar is locked by default for new user accounts, to prevent accidental resizing or moving of the taskbar and/or the toolbars. Multiple instances of an application are grouped automatically and inactive tray area icons are hidden automatically, to prevent cluttering of the taskbar.<br />
<br />
==Editions==<br />
* ''Starter'': This version was intended for emerging markets, and was introduced in 2004, meant for low-cost PCs. It cannot launch more than 3 programs at a time and will not start up on a computer with more than 512MB RAM.<br />
* ''Home Edition'': This edition is for low to mid end PCs and can address up to 4 GB RAM. This version was also included in ULPCs, and was sold along with ''Professional''.<br />
* ''Professional'': This is the mainstream high end version, sold along with the ''Home Edition''.<br />
* ''Media Center Edition'': This version is specially for Media Center based PCs, and is not sold normally. System requirements are significantly higher than other editions. This version includes Media Center and new themes.<br />
* ''Embedded'': This version is intended for the embedded sector.<br />
* ''Tablet PC Edition'': This version was included in tablet computers from 2002-2006. This is the tablet-optimized version of Windows XP.<br />
* ''Windows XP 64-bit Edition'': This version was intended for 64-bit PCs and thus could address far more RAM amounts. One such edition was for Itanium as well. A later edition, also based on Windows Server 2003 code base, was called ''Windows XP Professional x64 Edition''. The ones called "64-bit edition" are for Itanium(IA64), while the ones called "x64 edition" are x64(AMD64).<br />
* ''N, K and KN Editions'': The N version was made for the European markets and did not include Windows Media Player; the K version was made for the Korean markets and included two shortcuts to Korean websites by default because the government insisted.<br />

There needs to be multiple administrators and oversight, a staff member could easily say ''"oh I don't like this, therefore I will find it 'disrespectful', I'll just delete it and ban the user without anyone else questioning me"'', as demonstrated by ovctvct earlier when I criticized an Office page.

== Regarding Ovctvct ==<br />
<br />
He destroyed the LegacyWinBeta forum for no reason, but he spammed WinWorld back in December last year. Today, he spammed Brandon Pimenta forums. While I don't support the creation of the forum, it's their decisions to create the forum and hate me so that ovctvct posts on Pimenta forums with the username "A**HOLE" and spams it tell them to go [censored] themselves as they are not the real me. Sure, a polite reply wouldn't hurt, but all caps and repetition makes that case spamming. What do you think? --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 01:31, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
:I actually fully agree with Brandon here, ovctvct's behavior is ridiculous. Not only do the aforementioned examples apply (not that I'm so in love with what LWB was anyway), but he additionally spammed WinWorld over ''stitch disagreeing with Battler'', which was absolute zilch of his business. ovctvct has proven himself incapable of staff positions *anywhere* due to his destructive, egotistical nature. [[User:User99672|User99672]] ([[User talk:User99672|talk]]) 05:24, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
::A little unrelated trivia: Ovctvct registered for a MediaWiki account on 3rd December 2014: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=Ovctvct. Now, back on topic, because of your statement, I have removed Ovctvct from admin position on my ClassicBeta wiki. If there is any spam coming from him afterwards because he's no longer admin I will block him. In addition, I've added Tau Ceti as an admin, because I felt he's a good contributor on this wiki, as well as on ClassicBeta. --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 08:42, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
:And that's why was he demoted, following the LegacyWinBeta forum accident. First to VIP, then when somebody spammed BetaWiki "incidentally" after his demotion (read the "new rule suggestion" section), he was demoted to regular member. --[[User:AlphaBeta|AlphaBeta]] ([[User talk:AlphaBeta|talk]]) 15:44, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
::And now he just spammed Gabegriggs1's HyperOperatedTech forum, with a malicious post telling me to go [censored] myself. This means that ovctvct has now spammed four forums: WinBoards, LegacyWinBeta, the fake "BRANDON PIMENTA" forums and HyperOperatedTech. --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 14:09, 11 June 2015 (BST)<br />
:::Even though I'd sound a bit harsh but I think this is unrelated to here BetaWiki, so I'm kindly asking to not repost anymore about it. We all know he's an asshole, a tard, whatever you'd like to call him. If he was really a good guy or he ever had a positive clean personality he'd not go into sheepy actions which proves that he shouldn't be treated more than being neglected all over the sites he go to. Let's forget about him and move on. Thank you. --[[User:AirportsFan|AirportsFan]] ([[User talk:AirportsFan|talk]]) 20:54, 11 June 2015 (BST)<br />
:::Ovctvct has now become a mod on hyperOperatedTech and has promised to not spam again. He seems to have this urge to improve kind of like WindowsHistorian77 has. He is in full support of my forum now and if he makes one wrong move (which I do not expect him to) then he will be permabanned like Kelton2 did when he turned against us. Mostly what destroyed LWB is all of the drama that happened on it's previous IRC channel. A lot of it was dealing with Kelton2. ([[User:gabegriggs1|gabegriggs1]]<br />

== Question on Windows 10 page ==<br />

Seeing as MS are switching to a periodical release system, it is pointless to put everything after this change on one 'Windows 10' page.

<hr />
<div>{{ Infobox Windows|Vista }}<br />
<br />
Windows Vista is an operating system by [[Microsoft]]. It was released worldwide on 2007-01-30.<br />
It replaces [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] and was replaced by [[Windows:7|Windows 7]].<br />
It reached RTM on 2006-11-08.<br />
<br />
The development of Windows Vista has gone through many stages, starting from 2001 (under the codename Whistler +1) to it's final release in November 2006. Windows Vista (or '[[Windows:Longhorn|Longhorn]]' as it was originally known) was intended as a bridging release between 'Whistler' ([[Windows:XP|Windows XP]]) and the later version of Windows 'Blackcomb' (which much later became [[Windows:7|Windows 7]]). Feature creep became an issue as development progressed, and stability was a major issue throughout development. As a result, development of [[Windows:Longhorn|Windows Codename "Longhorn"]] was reset, soon after the compilation of build 4093. These are the post-reset Longhorn/Vista builds. The original code base for Longhorn was [[Windows:Server2003|Windows Server 2003 Release Candidate 1]]. Omega-13 builds also use [[Windows:Server2003|Windows Server 2003]] as a base, however the build used as the base is from the Service Pack 1 branch, which is a somewhat more stable codebase. In April 2005, a pre-beta build was released to testers (build 5048). This build showed the progress made since the reset, and also proved much more stable than previous builds. Build 5112 (Beta 1) was released to the public soon afterwards, and showcased an early version of the Aero interface, as well as many stability improvements over XP. Over the next year, many builds were pushed to testers in a public beta program. The final build out to public preview testers was [[Windows:Vista:5744.16384:vista_rtm_edw|Release Candidate 2 (build 5744)]]. The RTM build was [[Windows:Vista:6000.16386:vista_rtm|build 6000.16386]].<br />
<br />
===Editions===<br />
<br />
Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] , there was no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability, since these features were included in at least one of the consumer editions. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version, perhaps due to the considerable grunt required to run optimally.<br />
*''Starter'' This edition is intended for emerging markets and low-cost PC's. As in XP , the 3-program limit was there , and only 1GB RAM was accepted. Other software restrictions applied as well. This version is hence not available in 64-bit.<br />
*''Home Basic'' Found in low cost to mid-end , this version of Windows Vista does not fully have Aero(though it has DWM) , and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center is also dropped from this build. Parental Controls is included however. It does not have the hardware and 3-program limit.<br />
*''Home Premium'' The consumer version of Windows Vista , this version includes full Aero functionality and Windows Media Center. It also includes Premium Games(eg - Inkball).<br />
*''Business'' The business oriented version of Windows Vista , it contains several features like full RDP(client/host) capability, Group Policy and domain join ability. However , Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<br />
*''Ultimate'' The top consumer variant of Windows Vista , it is a merger of the features included Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. Bitlocker is included in this version.<br />
*''Enterprise'' The business variant of Windows Vista. It is similar to Ultimate, but without Windows Media Center and includes enterprise-specific tools.<br />
<br />
Note that certain features(like Aero or TV support) may require premium/different/upgraded hardware and so may not be available on all PCs's.<br />
<br />
==Builds==<br />
===Omega-13===<br />
These builds are post-reset Longhorn builds, primarily focused on reintegrating features from the pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. Most of these builds are similar to [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] in overall look and feel. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise.<br />

== Regarding Ovctvct ==<br />
<br />
He destroyed the LegacyWinBeta forum for no reason, but he spammed WinWorld back in December last year. Today, he spammed Brandon Pimenta forums. While I don't support the creation of the forum, it's their decisions to create the forum and hate me so that ovctvct posts on Pimenta forums with the username "A**HOLE" and spams it tell them to go [censored] themselves as they are not the real me. Sure, a polite reply wouldn't hurt, but all caps and repetition makes that case spamming. What do you think? --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 01:31, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
:I actually fully agree with Brandon here, ovctvct's behavior is ridiculous. Not only do the aforementioned examples apply (not that I'm so in love with what LWB was anyway), but he additionally spammed WinWorld over ''stitch disagreeing with Battler'', which was absolute zilch of his business. ovctvct has proven himself incapable of staff positions *anywhere* due to his destructive, egotistical nature. [[User:User99672|User99672]] ([[User talk:User99672|talk]]) 05:24, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
::A little unrelated trivia: Ovctvct registered for a MediaWiki account on 3rd December 2014: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACentralAuth&target=Ovctvct. Now, back on topic, because of your statement, I have removed Ovctvct from admin position on my ClassicBeta wiki. If there is any spam coming from him afterwards because he's no longer admin I will block him. In addition, I've added Tau Ceti as an admin, because I felt he's a good contributor on this wiki, as well as on ClassicBeta. --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 08:42, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
:And that's why was he demoted, following the LegacyWinBeta forum accident. First to VIP, then when somebody spammed BetaWiki "incidentally" after his demotion (read the "new rule suggestion" section), he was demoted to regular member. --[[User:AlphaBeta|AlphaBeta]] ([[User talk:AlphaBeta|talk]]) 15:44, 15 May 2015 (BST)<br />
::And now he just spammed Gabegriggs1's HyperOperatedTech forum, with a malicious post telling me to go [censored] myself. This means that ovctvct has now spammed four forums: WinBoards, LegacyWinBeta, the fake "BRANDON PIMENTA" forums and HyperOperatedTech. --[[User:InfinityPlus1|InfinityPlus1]] ([[User talk:InfinityPlus1|talk]]) 14:09, 11 June 2015 (BST)<br />
:::Even though I'd sound a bit harsh but I think this is unrelated to here BetaWiki, so I'm kindly asking to not repost anymore about it. We all know he's an asshole, a tard, whatever you'd like to call him. If he was really a good guy or he ever had a positive clean personality he'd not go into sheepy actions which proves that he shouldn't be treated more than being neglected all over the sites he go to.

:::Ovctvct has now become a mod on hyperOperatedTech and has promised to not spam again. He seems to have this urge to improve kind of like WindowsHistorian77 has. He is in full support of my forum now and if he makes one wrong move (which I do not expect him to) then he will be permabanned like Kelton2 did when he turned against us.

<div>{{ Infobox Windows|Vista }}<br />
<br />
Windows Vista is an operating system by [[Microsoft]]. It was released worldwide on 2007-01-30.<br />
It replaces [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] and was replaced by [[Windows:7|Windows 7]].<br />
It reached RTM on 2006-11-08.<br />
<br />
The development of Windows Vista has gone through many stages, starting from 2001 (under the codename Whistler +1) to it's final release in November 2006. Windows Vista (or '[[Windows:Longhorn|Longhorn]]' as it was originally known) was intended as a bridging release between 'Whistler' ([[Windows:XP|Windows XP]]) and the later version of Windows 'Blackcomb' (which much later became [[Windows:7|Windows 7]]). Feature creep became an issue as development progressed, and stability was a major issue throughout development. As a result, development of [[Windows:Longhorn|Windows Codename "Longhorn"]] was reset, soon after the compilation of build 4093. These are the post-reset Longhorn/Vista builds. The original code base for Longhorn was [[Windows:Server2003|Windows Server 2003 Release Candidate 1]]. Omega-13 builds also use [[Windows:Server2003|Windows Server 2003]] as a base, however the build used as the base is from the Service Pack 1 branch, which is a somewhat more stable codebase. In April 2005, a pre-beta build was released to testers (build 5048). This build showed the progress made since the reset, and also proved much more stable than previous builds. Build 5112 (Beta 1) was released to the public soon afterwards, and showcased an early version of the Aero interface, as well as many stability improvements over XP. Over the next year, many builds were pushed to testers in a public beta program. The final build out to public preview testers was [[Windows:Vista:5744.16384:vista_rtm_edw|Release Candidate 2 (build 5744)]]. The RTM build was [[Windows:Vista:6000.16386:vista_rtm|build 6000.16386]].<br />
<br />
===Editions===<br />
<br />
Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] , there was no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability, since these features were included in at least one of the consumer editions. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version, perhaps due to the considerable grunt required to run optimally.<br />
*''Starter'' This edition is intended for emerging markets and low-cost PC's. As in XP , the 3-program limit was there , and only 1GB RAM was accepted. Other software restrictions applied as well. This version is hence not available in 64-bit.<br />
*''Home Basic'' Found in low cost to mid-end , this version of Windows Vista does not fully have Aero(though it has DWM) , and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center is also dropped from this build. Parental Controls is included however. It does not have the hardware and 3-program limit.<br />
*''Home Premium'' The consumer version of Windows Vista , this version includes full Aero functionality and Windows Media Center. It also includes Premium Games(eg - Inkball).<br />
*''Business'' The business oriented version of Windows Vista , it contains several features like full RDP(client/host) capability, Group Policy and domain join ability. However , Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.<br />
*''Ultimate'' The top consumer variant of Windows Vista , it is a merger of the features included Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. Bitlocker is included in this version.<br />
*''Enterprise'' The business variant of Windows Vista. It is similar to Ultimate, but without Windows Media Center and includes enterprise-specific tools.<br />
<br />
Note that certain features(like Aero or TV support) may require premium/different/upgraded hardware and so may not be available on all PCs's.<br />
<br />
==Builds==<br />
===Omega-13===<br />
These builds are post-reset Longhorn builds, primarily focused on reintegrating features from the pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. Most of these builds are similar to [[Windows:XP|Windows XP]] in overall look and feel. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise.<br />

<hr />
<div>A build similar to Server build 1877. This build dont uses old Win3.1-95-NT4.0 sound scheme. <br />
It uses Win98-2000-ME(Millenium Edition) sound scheme. You have to set this build with a <br />
Windows 9x bootdisk (98FE is prefered) Comes in Enterprise Server Edition with Active Directory <br />
It works in Virtual PC 2007 but with a minor glitch after the DOS-mode setup. That is fixed <br />
by simply restarting the computer.<br />
