BMP is the format used for storing lossless image data on Microsoft windows. In recent years Microsoft has started to favor other formats such as jpeg and png, but for many years bmp was the predominant format for lossless image storage. You can also find bitmap data embedded as resources in PE files and ICO files amongst other Microsoft formats. The article RLE talks about the compression scheme used in Microsoft bitmap files.
