an operating system released in several variations

released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business
customers and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released
worldwide and was made available for purchase and download from

time span between successive releases of Microsoft Windows
desktop operating systems. It was succeeded by Windows 7, which was

October 22, 2009.
