Windows

From XP through to NT, Windows powers the vast majority of computers on the planet and is Microsoft's biggest weapon in its assault on PC platforms global domination. Windows has been operating computer platforms for decades now. We can all remember the 3.1, 95, and 98 systems that are no longer used. Although they were very good and served their purpose well, newer versions of Windows were released onto the market making the predecessors all but redundant.

Microsoft have since brought out 2000, the Millennium Edition, and, most recently, the award winning XE. With these later operating systems, they come bursting with features such as CD burning software and drivers for almost any type of hardware and software that you can imagine. This in itself will save you money on buying other titles, which should offset the often large price tag, unless of course you got it with the purchase of your computer.
