Microsoft Windows has been the dominant operating system (OS) in the world since its first release in 1985, and it continues to be so three decades later. The reason why so many people prefer Windows over other options like Apple\u2019s Mac OS and Linux, despite the rising popularity of alternative operating systems, is because of its wide range of features. There are plenty of great options out there that you should explore, but these are the 10 best features of Microsoft Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
