Today we took a step back and covered Chapter 10, which was Windows essentials. We first went over the history of Windows to help us understand the benefit of current f eatures that we have and to understand where are and where we've come from. We then went over typical OS configuration scenarios that CompTIA will expect you to know for the A+ software exam, including network configuration (IP addresses, subnet masks, etc.), Administration Tools (like the Services console), Accessibility Tools (filter keys) and Power Options (when to power down HDDs and monitors).
We also played with Windows ME (bust) and Ubuntu 7.10 (notsomuch) and did an install of Windows 2000 (NT 5.0). Next week, we'll cover Chapter 12 and work on a Windows XP installation.
