"Windows.
Look through them, or look at them.
Either way, windows aren't 'Windows' unless they're
from Microsoft. Really?"
How did the name
"Windows" ever get associated with
computers, anyway? Most people think of a window as
something you look through to get a view of your
world while being protected from the elements.
Of course they're
right. But in a serious way, Windows does give
you a view of the world. When searching for a name
for his brain trust, Mr. Bill Gates and friends
decided on "Windows." The full name is, of
course, Microsoft Windows. Yea, it's a registered
trademark and all that.
With that in mind,
what exactly do you call this?:
It's a
badly shrunken screen capture of the Display
Properties thingy. Well, instead of calling it a
"thingy," how about calling it a Dialog
Box, or if you'd rather, simply a window? Let's use
the "proper" terminology, shall we? Just immerse yourself in this site, and you'll soon
you'll be dreaming about this stuff.
Terminology
and its meanings made clear as freshly polished
glass. Now that's some window you've got there!
So
Windows is all about windows--and the amazing things
you can do with them. Whether it's minimizing,
maximizing, restoring, or simply opening and closing
them, you've got control over your computer.
