Windows User (1991-1996) was the first UK computer magazine for end-users of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

It was published by Reed Business Publishing, designed by Phil Brooker, and edited by Sean Geer who later went on to edit the UK edition of Wired. Regular contributors included Mike Hardaker, Mark Stephens, Andrew Brown (author of ‘The Darwin Wars’), Tim Nott and Glyn Moody.

Despite its unprepossessing subject matter, it gained a reputation for being both cultured and funny. It is thought to be the only English language computer magazine to mention words such as Chryselephantine, Cromniomancy and Triskaidekaphobia.

It had no editorial connection with the middle-eastern or US publications of the same name.
