Windows is a family of GUI operating systems produced by Microsoft (MS) Corporation.

Almost all of Oracle's products are available on MS Windows. Microsoft also has a database product called SQL Server that competes with the Oracle database.

  • 16 bit patch to an
  • 8 bit operating system originally coded for a
