WEEK 5 - SESSION 1&2

In the first session, I have learned about Microsoft Windows, Windows7 aims and its anatomy.

Windows is proprietary software. It comes preloaded on most of PCs sold today, and can also be purchased separately.

Windows7 is the latest version of a series of operating systems that Microsoft has produced for use on personal computers. For the anatomy of it, I have known about 5 main elements:

·        Aero view: which are aero, aero peek, aero snap, aero flip and aero shake.

·        Taskbar: included jump lists, pin and action center.

·        Search in the Start Menu.

·        Libraries

·        Gadgets

Moreover, I have known about additional tools in Windows7 and its requirements.

For the next session, I have learned about Windows7 file management, which are managing files and folders, using search in the search bar at the top right corner of the Windows Explorer pane, search options and features, and a new approach to accessing content.
