WEEK 5 and WEEK 6

Why am I doing my self-reflection blog for weeks 5 and 6 together? I did it, because I didn't have a choice. I combined it, NOT because of my laziness or boniness. :) In the beginning of week 5, we had almost three days of the Chinese New Year and that is why I didn't have classes. Later on, in week 5 we started our topic on Windows Operating Systems, that we use everyday, every time in our life. And later on we continued our topic in week 6, moreover we had mid-term examinations on other subjects, and that is why we didn't study almost whole week 6. However, we could finish our topic. So, let me tell you about what I've learned in weeks 5 and 6, to be precise about Windows Operating Systems.


For week five I studied about  MS Windows computer operating system including: Windows OS history, Microsoft windows, and Windows 7 and 8 Aims.

Windows OS history: 

The Microsoft OS. The Microsoft released a number of windows operating system ranging from windows xx, NT, Server from 1985 till now. Windows 7 released in 2009 and the latest is windows 8, released at the end of 2012.

Microsoft Windows:

 Microsoft created the operating system,, Windows, in the mid-1980s. windows is a proprietary software, which means that Microsoft has placed restrictions on how people can also be purchased separately. Windows comes reloaded on most of the PCs sold today, and can also be purchased separately.

Windows 8 

Windows 8

Windows 8  is a version of Microsoft Windows (an operating system produced by Microsoft) for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor, Windows 7, in 2009. 
Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to better compete with other mobile operating systems like Android and Apple's iOS  Windows 8 features a new touch user interface and shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles that represent applications. The Start screen replaces the "Start menu" of earlier Windows versions.

All in all, this week was very useful for me. Because as you know now the world living in technological century, its a modern life. So, even we don't want to use the computers, we have to do it, everything around us is computerized, and the Operating System is the most important. I learned, a lot in these weeks. Windows Operating System can do a various of tasks, such as; internet, photo editing, business working, video making, searching, recording data's and thousands of tasks. Operating Systems is the most important part of Twenty First Century.
