“could what…the??
“good fences make good neighbors…”

“who let the sunshine in?”

-“micro-soft windows” is a ‘meta-family’ of ‘graphical operating systems’-
(‘developed’ / ‘marketed’ / ‘sold’ by ‘microsoft’)
.
(it consists of several ‘families’ of ‘operating systems’, each of which cater to a certain ‘sector’ of the ‘computing industry’ with the ‘OS’ typically associated with ‘IBM PC compatible architecture’)
.
[‘active windows families’ include…]
‘windows NT’
.
‘windows embedded’
.
‘windows phone’
.
(these may encompass ‘sub-families’)
(EG windows embedded compact (windows CE) / ‘windows server’)
.
“EG”
‘LATIN’ –> “EXEMPLI GRATIA”
(‘english’ –> “for example…”)
(usually abbreviated as ‘e.g.’)
.
(‘defunct windows families’ include…)
‘windows 9x’
.
(‘windows 10 mobile’ is an ‘active product’)
(unrelated to the defunct family ‘windows mobile’)
(‘microsoft’ introduced an ‘operating environment’ named ‘windows‘ on ’20 november 1985’)
(it was a ‘graphical operating system shell’ for ‘MS-DOS’ in response to the growing interest in ‘graphical user interfaces’ (GUIs))
(‘microsoft windows’ came to dominate the world’s ‘personal computer’ (‘PC’) market with over ‘90% market share’, overtaking ‘mac OS’, which had been introduced in ‘1984’)
(“year of our birth”)
(‘apple’ came to see ‘windows’ as an ‘unfair encroachment’ on their innovation in ‘GUI development’ as implemented on ‘products’ such as the ‘lisa’ + ‘macintosh’ (eventually settled in court in microsoft’s favor in ‘1993’)
(on ‘PCs’, ‘windows’ is still the ‘most popular operating system’)
(however, in ‘2014’, ‘microsoft’ admitted losing the majority of the ‘overall operating system market’ to ‘android’, because of the ‘massive growth’ in ‘sales’ of ‘android smartphones’)
(in ‘2014’, the # of ‘windows devices’ sold were less than 25% of ‘android’ devices sold)
(this comparisons, however, may not be fully relevant as the 2 ‘operating systems’ traditionally targeted different ‘platforms’)
(as of ‘september 2016’, the most recent version of ‘windows’ for (‘PCs’ / ‘tablets’ / ‘smartphones’ / ’embedded devices’) is ‘windows 10’)
(the most recent versions for ‘server computers’ is ‘windows server 2016’)
.
(a specialized version of ‘windows’ runs on the ‘xbox 1’ game console)
