Why did Windows come into existence?

Answer :
(a) Through MS-DOS offered good functionality, the text interface that it
offered was boring and difficult for a common user to get use to. It
was not easy for a layman to grasp and remember convoluted DOS
commands. Windows offered a Visual Interface, which was intuitive
and easy to use.

(b) With the success that MS-DOS met in the PC industry the user
started demanding more and more features in the DOS based
programs.

required to get used to before he can start getting work out of the
program. For example, Lotus 1-2-3, FoxPro, WordStar offered
different types of menus. Such problems were eliminated in Windows
by offering a consistent user interface.

(d) Windows could offer multitasking capability where by the use could
run several programs simultaneously in memory.
