Screen shots....

It would have looked nicer and been easier if you had just taken screen shots instead of taking pics with your camera. Just a suggestion

Your suggestion is noted, thanks for responding anonymous.

The thing is that when in the actual process of installing an operating system on real hardware things like making actual screenshots with the computer is not possible because to do so does require the operating system to be totally up and running. This is the only the case after the final boot up.

So yes I could have made actual screenshots of the last part as the operating system was fully operational and things like print/scr and pasting it to Paint and then saving the jpegs work then. But I just didn't feel like changing the 'mood' of this small article by switching over to real screen shots when the first section was camera shots.

There is a way to go real screen-shot all the way by installing Windows 7 in a virtual machine and making screenshots of that from the host operating system. It would have made a more clean looking article for sure. But I kind of like the roughness of the one I made.

Thanks for your suggestions again!
