Microsoft Windows Operating System is probably one of the most dominant if not the dominant operating system running on majority of computer systems around the World. However, despite the popularity of the Microsoft Windows OS, its architecture, functionality and interface is difficult to master and effectively use in terms of the Windows Application Programming Interface. This results to a negative contribution to the robustness, safety and portability of programs developed using the WAPI. The structure of the Windows API evolves mainly on a set of constantly changing functions implemented via shared libraries. There are also certain inconsistencies and inadequate documentation related to the applications developed under it.
