Windows.
Version 3.1 and prior versions of Microsoft's popular 16-bit GUI explicitly ran on top of DOS. Windows 95, previously known as Windows 4.0 and code-named Chicago, is a (primarily) 32-bit OS that integrates DOS and Windows. Windows for Workgroups was Microsoft's peer-to-peer network that used a Windows interface and NetBIOS communications.
wireless LANs.
A wireless LAN does not use cable to transmit signals, but rather uses radio or infrared to transmit packets. Radio frequency (RF) and infrared are the most commonly used types of wireless transmission. Spread spectrum is used in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. Most wireless LANs use spread spectrum transmission. It offers limited bandwidth, and users share the bandwidth with other devices in the spectrum; however, users can operate a spread spectrum device without licensing from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Some high-frequency RF systems offer greater throughput, but they are used less often because they require an FCC license for the right to transmit.
wiring closet.
A wiring closet is a room or closet that is centrally located and contains operating data-communications and voice equipment, such as network hubs, routers, cross connects, and PBXs.
workflow software.
Workflow software is a class of applications that helps information workers manage and route their work. It is a special class of groupware or workgroup software.
