Introduction
Necessity of Windows
MS Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroup 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98
and Windows NT products of MICROSOFT are already in the market.
Basically it is WYSIWYG {what you see (on screen display) is what you get
(on printer output)}. Microsoft is using 32 bit processing from Windows 95
onward operating system.
Windows uses scalable typeface technology which helps the users to create
adorable layouts, for precision and overall presentation, of any jobwork.
Windows support almost all the printers i.e. Dot Matrix, Ink-Jet, Laser
(Non-Postscript and PostScript) and Imagesetters available in market. Window
based packages are user friendly and have the facility of importing and
exporting, which allows user to use various packages simultaneously for a
single job. Windows is multi tasking, multi user environment, by which many
applications can concurrently work.
Windows allows the use of many international packages available in market
thereby increasing efficiency. Vendors like Microsoft and Lotus have
developed package like Microsoft Office and Lotus Smart Suite which have
components like MS Word (Word Processor) MS Excel (Spreadsheet), MS
Power Point (Presentations), MS Access (Database) and Lotus AmiPro (Word
Processor), Lotus 1-2-3 (Spreadsheet) and Lotus Freelance Graphics
