Windows originally had no system at all for networking PCs. Unless, you wish to count direct connection peer to peer which rapidly became unwieldy and unsafe for data storage. Novell stepped into the rather obvious gap and produced what eventually became Novell Netware which was designed to make up for the poor connectivity of early Microsoft products. Novell more or less invented the idea of the file server and made those capabilities available to DOS and Windows-based systems. The idea was to designate one machine to manage the network and control access to shared devices, such as disk drives and printers. Novell then arranged the various categories.. printers, disks, users, user groups etc. ...in a really intuitive  (i.e. EZ to understand) tree/branch structure. An idea which Microsoft still hasn't caught on to...Novell started doing this back in the late 70's and early 80's...(now that's history!) Microsoft jumped into the networking biz with NT4.0 somewhere around 1996 but just 'cause your the biggest, don't mean you're the best.
