 | | Microsoft entered the palm computing market in November with Windows CE 1.0, a new built-from-scratch version of their flagship operating system, specifically designed to run on low-memory, low-performance machines, such as handhelds and other palm-sized computers. | | | In Microsoft Windows, the company was selling what would become the most widely used operating system in the world, which was originally an add-on for their DOS operating system; Microsoft continued to push into multiple markets, such as computer hardware and television. | | | Microsoft was quick to use its position to dominate the home computer operating system market. |

| | Research and development of new kinds of operating systems is an active subfield of computer science. | | | Mainframe operating systems, such as IBM's z/OS, and embedded operating systems such as QNX, eCos, and PalmOS, are usually unrelated to Unix and Windows. | | | In computing, an operating system (OS) is the system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations. |

| | Howstuffworks "How Operating Systems Work" |
| | The operating system (OS) is the first thing loaded onto the computer -- without the operating system, a computer is useless. | | | The purpose of an operating system is to organize and control hardware and software so that the device it lives in behaves in a flexible but predictable way. | | | For a desktop computer user, this means you can add a new security update, system patch, new application or often even a new operating system entirely rather than junk your computer and start again with a new one when you need to make a change. |

| | Microsuck What's So Bad About Microsoft? |
| | Microsoft was late to catch on to the fact that the web was going to revolutionize the way people used computers and once they finally woke up they were dangerously close to having their Windows monopoly destroyed by the greatly reduced importance of operating systems that a web based paradigm would produce. | | | Microsoft has recently added "features" to its software in order to prevent unlicensed use, and users are already crying out at the negative effect this has had on usability and reliability. | | | Microsoft is in fact known for incredibly buggy software. |
