    Software today is being used in various sectors such as transportation, customer support, nuclear plants, and so on. Software development has become an eminent part of any business helping them gain better productivity and efficiency. A business organization can easily avail of services from a Web Application Development Company and scale up their businesses.

    Having said that, developing software is a complicated process and hence requires a good platform to work with. There are debates about whether Microsoft Windows is a good platform for software development or not.

    This article will help readers find out if Microsoft Windows is a competent platform for developing software.

    Is Microsoft Windows A Good Platform For Developing Software?

    Software developers do consider Windows as an apt platform as it is much easier than various other operating systems out there. With new updates, Microsoft promises to create a platform that is developer friendly. To support this statement below are some features mentioned that will prove that Microsoft Windows is indeed a reliable and apt platform for software development. These new features available on the latest Windows 11 have surely served as a boon for developers.

    Title bar customization- The title bar customization feature on Microsoft Window is extremely developer friendly. The default title bar for each window could be easily customized as per the requirement of the software. It is to be noted however that this feature is currently only available on Windows 11.

    Supports Light and dark themes- Graphical elements in software play a crucial role in garnering the attention of the users. The light and dark theme on Windows is an added feature that will help developers switch between different modes.

    Icon Design- Icon designs are extremely important as it is the first thing a user notices in the software. Windows provides various options for developers to create an iconic design that stands out. Windows allows developers to create designs that are simple yet straightforward. There are elements such as metaphor, shadows, shapes, and colors developers could use to create a terrific icon design.

    These were the 3 basic features available on Windows that could potentially help developers create better software. Apart from these, there are other features such as Font selection, Migrating apps, WSL updates, and many more.  Windows seeks to help developers create fresh-looking and visually appealing and highly interactive apps.

    New Addition Of Microsoft Power Toys

    Apart from the above-mentioned basic features, the addition of developer-friendly Microsoft power toys is indeed an extremely necessary feature for developers. Developers gain access to many utilities such as Power Toys awake, Color picker, Fancy Zones, Keyboard manager, and many more.  Each has its significance in helping developers gain a better user experience.

    Fancy Zones helps developers create complicated layouts easily and place them appropriately. Similarly, Keyboard managers give access to many keyboard shortcuts that will help manage time efficiently as well as make things simpler. Resizing with a single click is possible with an Image resizer. These were some of the benefits of using Microsoft Power Toys for developers.

    Better Security

    Security plays an integral role in software development. Whether it is threats from bugs and malware or any other third-party sites, there is always a risk. Luckily with the new Windows 11, the security system has been improved providing relief to the developers. The integration of security systems such as UEFI secure boot, TPM 2.0, and VBS is a step toward ensuring Windows as a secure platform for the developers. This is certainly one of the reasons why Windows is a good choice as a platform for developing software.

    Better Speed

    The new upgraded Windows 11 has made sure that speed is not going to hinder the process of software development. Developers are going to benefit a lot from these as Windows can operate much faster. Developers undergo constant pressure of completing complex tasks within designated time frames. Hence, better speed is certainly going to help them a lot.

    Better Multitasking Experience For Developers

    The screen real estate helps developers make use of the available space for performing other functions. Hence, Windows offers improved screen real estate helping developers multitask. Similarly, other elements have been improved including the snap layouts, external monitor layouts, and snap groups. All these collaboratively help in improving the multitasking experience of software developers.

    Conclusion

    Developers make use of platforms such as Linux, macOS, and Windows for developing software. While the experience might vary, the question here was whether Microsoft Windows is a good platform or not. Considering the findings above, it is safe to assert that it is indeed a good platform. Each platform, be it Linux or macOS might have some better features to offer as compared to Windows but that does make it an unworthy platform.
