Genre:File comparison tool
License:Proprietary commercial software

WinDiff is a graphical file comparison program published by Microsoft, distributed with Microsoft Windows Support Tools,[1] [2] certain versions of Microsoft Visual Studio, and as source-code with the Platform SDK code samples. WinDiff was included in the Windows SDK (previously known as the Resource Kit, later Platform SDK) since 1992[3] until Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (a.k.a. Windows SDK 7.1). Because portions of the Windows SDK were shipped in Visual Studio, WinDiff was also included in Visual Studio until Visual Studio 2010. WinDiff was removed from the Windows 8 SDK and therefore is not included in Visual Studio 2012 or any later version.[4] A number of unofficial standalone uploads of the program remain available.
