'''Windows''' is the collective name for [[Microsoft]]'s immensely popular line of operating systems. As well as being widely used by businesses, Windows is the primary operating system [[PC]] games are developed for. It is the successor to [[MS-DOS]], which previously held a similar market share in both the home and business markets. | '''Windows''' is the collective name for [[Microsoft]]'s immensely popular line of operating systems.

New versions of Windows generally maintain a high degree of compatibility with software developed for past versions of Windows (and limited compatibility with MS-DOS), and new software releases will often work on older versions of Windows. This changed with Windows Vista; some releases (such as [[Halo 2]]) are specifically designed to only work with Windows Vista, and so cannot be used on previous versions of Windows. | New versions of Windows generally maintain a high degree of compatibility with software developed for past versions of Windows (and limited compatibility with MS-DOS), and new software releases will often work on older versions of Windows.
