Microsoft and me

When I originally thought of the sentence Microsoft and me I didn't actually realise I use it at all, after some research I realised I use it hundreds of time throughout the day, now I have come to realise Microsoft is my new best friend, he helps me do my job, prepares for my second job, comes to work with me (keeps me company on times) and basically organises my day.




Microsoft has enabled me to keep in touch through "Skype" with my friends and family who are spread throughout the globe, it allows me to send information through my email account and keeps me in the "cool" sister category when playing games on my brothers xbox.

"Microsoft Windows or Windows is a metafamily of graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft. It consists of several families of operating systems, each of which cater to a certain sector of the computing industry. Active Windows families include Windows NT, Windows Embedded and Windows Phone; these may encompass subfamilies, e.g. Windows Embedded Compact (Windows CE) or Windows Server. Defunct Windows families include Windows 9x and Windows Mobile.
Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985 as a graphical operating system shell for MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs).[5] Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market with over 90% market share, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984. However, it is outsold by Android on smartphones and tablets.[6][7][8]
As of April 2014, the most recent versions of Windows for personal computers, smartphones, server computers and embedded devices are respectively Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Embedded 8. A specialized version of Windows runs on the Xbox One game console."

Microsoft has been around since .... and is constantly developing to fit with the everchanging society we live in, it is argued that nearly each household within western society has a Microsoft application within its walls.
