In the case of "Microsoft Windows", windows programs are software applications that are run on a computer that is also running Microsoft Windows as an operating system.

A "window" in the context of software is an area of the screen set aside to run a single program and may or may not have options for controlling the position and size of the program area.Some examples of Microsoft Windows applications are:
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Notepad
- Mozilla Firefox
