Examples of Windows in a Sentence

1. Microsoft President Brad Smith:

   If somebody from The US government believes that Windows on a laptop sold by Huawei would create a national security risk to the United States, then of course United States's something that we want to talk about... but we don't think United States is United States.

2. Christina Haack:

   It was built in 1929, which is old for Laguna, i mean, it's not falling down, but it's not far from falling down. There's no heating system, there's no air conditioning, half the wiring doesn't work, the plumbing is really bad, there's no insulation, there are multiple broken windows… so I've had to make some quick temporary changes to make sure it's safe for Hudson. But the bones of it are perfect. In fact, I don't want to change that at all. I just want to update the house in a really sympathetic way.

Close your windows.
