Before we break into the Windows system lets prepare for the final challenge.
Most of us use Microsoft Windows in our daily office tasks. If you are a gamer, programmer or a journalist you are most likely be using Windows. Of course you can do without Windows, but it has become a sort of culture to use it, because majority of the users seek simplicity.
