| | X Window System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computing, the X Window System (commonly X11 or X) provides windowing for bitmap displays. |  | | The term "X Windows" (in the manner of "Microsoft Windows") is officially deprecated and generally considered incorrect, though it has been in common use since early in the history of X and has been used deliberately for literary effect, for example in the UNIX-HATERS Handbook. |  | | X became the first windowing system environment to offer true hardware-independence and vendor-independence. |
