Section 1.1

I finished taking notes on section 1.1 of the tutorial videos today. This took an additional hour and a half to complete. So far, I've learned about the different versions of the Windows Operating System (Windows XP, Vista, and 7) and what services they offer. I also learned about the different requirements a computer must meet in order to run the different operating system. Since the topic is discussed so thoroughly, I have to look up many terms like "Active Directory," "partitioning," or "New Technology File System." Despite these complicated terms, the lesson mainly serves as a background for later lessons. The videos go up to section 4.9, so it will take me a while to go through the entire lesson. The content is very interesting so far, and I'm actually enjoying going through these tutorials. I have a feeling that I will encounter these concepts later on when I take computer science courses in college. I now have 2 1/2 hours finished out of 25.
