We all know Linux/Unix uses X window system for Graphical User Interface.
Can anyone tell me what system does MS Windows use for Graphical User Interface?

Windows provides two libraries for applications: GDI and USER. GDI handles primitives for drawing to the screen ( or other devices, like printers ), and USER provides more high level features such as windows. In Windows NT 3.1-3.51, they were implemented in csrss.exe, then in NT 4 the implementation was moved to win32k.sys to avoid context switching when a program made those calls.
