Week 6: Anatomy of MS Windows OS

In this week, I learnt about Microsoft Windows Operating System such as Windows_­­­^xx_, NT, Server, me, 2000, Xp, Vista, till windows 7. Microsoft created the operating system in the mid-1980s. They have a version of OS that is designed for home user till bussines. Windows is not open source software, we should pay for the code. But now, a lot of loader “cracker” for windows, we shouldn’t pay (free) but its set the law at defiance, if someone do they will put it you in the prisioner or should pay more.

In this week, my teacher only taught us about Windows 7 because it was the lastest windows operating system. Windows 7 has many changes are:

·         Decrease start up and shutdown = 20 seconds

·         Sleep and resume faster

·         Use less memory

·         Wifi connect quickly

·         Detecting USB faster

And it was different with windows Vista. Windows Vista almost opposite overall with windows 7. GUI of windows 7 and vista was same because they integrate with aero but not for Xp. This is a new features in windows 7 are aero view, taskbar, search, libraries, gadgets. Also windows 7 has additional tools. Are device stage, windows live essential, homegroup, windows touch, remote media streaming. In windows 7, you could find your file easier use search.
