Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating systems and graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced previously. As of October 2009, Windows had approximately 91% of the market share of the client operating systems for usage on the Internet. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008 R2; the most recent mobile OS version is Windows Mobile 6.5.

How much does it cost to replace old windows with new larger windows?
Q. I am thinking of buying an older home and most of the windows are pretty small (I like lots of natural light). Before buying I am trying to figure out how much it would cost to replace some of the smaller windows in the living room and kitchen with bigger windows, probably to make them about 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide (or whatever is a standard size close to this). Secondly how much it would cost to add windows where currently none exist and thirdly to add a glass patio door where none currently exists. I would be able to take out the old windows myself but would need to pay someone to intall them all which adds the most cost I am sure. I live in Wisconsin. I know there are a million other factors to consider but I guess I am just… [cont.]

A. Depends on material of the frames and whether double or triple glazed, and the number and size of the windows. ~ Changing sizes adds to that!

A. What is that, a Vista skin for XP? Your editing the shell, which can be tricky in the 1st place. If there is no option to keep it that way, then revert back.
