Microsoft Windows is a famous brand name for software operating systems as well as graphical user interfaces produced by the company Microsoft. Originally, Microsoft Windows represented a so-called graphical extension of the operating system MS-DOS. In the course of time this special development sector proved to be not as good and profitable as thought. So the graphical extension of the operating system MS-DOS was given up for the benefit of the Windows NT product line. From this time on Windows represents the operating system as a whole.
The operating system is called ‘Windows’ because of the fact that active applications are always represented as a rectangular window on the respective computer screen.
Basically Windows operating systems are commonly installed on personal computers and servers. Moreover there are also various versions for devices such as smart phones, PDSs as well as for specific embedded devices like fully electronic measuring devices and retail electronic point of sales (EPOS). Consequently is has to stressed that Windows has established itself as the market leader considering PC operating systems. So the company Microsoft does not only have an estimated market share of approximately 92%, but also claims the monopoly for the offer and use of PC operating systems.
Fact is that Microsoft does not only offer operating systems, but also professional Software for Windows network printers. The software is absolutely easy to install and provides a number of useful functions which makes it possible to facilitate every printing process. For instance the software allows anytime to check the fill level of the respective toner cartridge as well as to choose between various different print qualities. Furthermore it is also possible to install the software on a print server that is connected to one or more printers over an independent network. The advantage of a so-called print server consists in the possibility to accept print jobs from different computers and consequently send them to the appropriate printers that are installed within the network.
