A '''workgroup''' is [[Microsoft]]'s technology for a [[peer-to-peer]] [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] computer network.<ref>http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/design/g/bldef_workgroup.htm</ref>

Microsoft [[operating system]]s in the same workgroup may allow each other access to their [[Computer file|files]], [[Computer printer|printers]], or [[Internetworking|Internet connection]]. Members of different workgroups on the same [[local area network]] and [[TCP/IP]] network can directly access shared resources in workgroups to which they are joined and other workgroups on the same physical network as evidenced by later versions of Windows like [[Windows XP]] and [[Windows 7]].{{cncitation needed|date=February 2013}}
