Windows 

The name of the operating systems made by Microsoft, which has developed from quite simple beginnings, into a more and more bloated and resource hungry OS. The reason 99% of people use it is because it's the only fucking thing available with good software/hardware support.

Each succesive release was designed to take advantage of the new and more powerful technologies available. Or in plain English, the extra bloat in the new version would require more powerful hardware, negating the extra processing power available and cancelling out the benefits of more powerful (not to mention expensive) hardware.

Person A: Windows sucks.
Person B: Why don't you use something else then?
Person A: Like what?
Person B: Linux? Mac?
Person A: Do they support all my hardware and programs?
Person B: Ah.

Windows 

A 32-bit operatijng system designed by the Microsoft corporation. Favored by many users due to its ease of use, deprecated by many geeks because of a myriad of reasons, and Yet Another thing to have a religious war about.

I use Linux because I just don't like Windows. That's it.

Windows 

A definition on Urban Dictionary used by minority Apple fans to whine about Windows because there's not much else to do on a mac.

Tired of playing with the dock and dashboard widgets, the mac user opened up Internet Explorer: Mac Edition to create anti-microsoft definitions on urbandicionary.

Meanwhile, the Windows user played Half-Life 2, glad he had an OS with developers.

windows 

Glass panes common in the walls of buildings, especially sky scrapers, allowing people inside to see the outside and to let light in.
Windows have been around for thousands of years, although they were originally just holes in the walls of buildings, without any glass panes.

Windows should not be confused with the remarkably unstable and virus-susceptible Windoze.

Yesterday, I was wondering if it was raining or not, so I looked outside through the windows and saw that it was, in fact, raining. Without my windows, I could have gotten wet.

windows 

Openings in a building. Usually glass, in most modern homes. Frequently used for ventilation, aesthetics, and defenestration.

Damn, those mothafuckas got thrown out the window.

I hope my new house has plenty of windows.
