Windows is a family of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Originally a graphical add-on for Microsoft DOS, Windows is a common choice for commercial and private operating system users.

Today there are several branches of Windows:

  • Windows Server, for servers
  • Windows Embedded Compact, for embedded devices

DevOps on Windows is often referred to as "WinOps", a portmanteau of "Windows" and "DevOps".
