Microsoft in the People’s Republic of China
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing Harvard Case 9-795-115. By 1993, computers were beginning to make themselves indispensable in Chinese business. The Chinese view was that the machines themselves needed to be purchased, but the information within them that caused them to operate should be a part of the machine, rather than a separate product for which they had to pay. Software piracy was rampant, to the extent that Microsoft’s Foxpro® was the leading product of its type in China, yet Microsoft had not sold a single legal copy in China. The paper recommends that Microsoft enter China, (1) gaining sales it would not otherwise have; (2) taking advantage of growing market share of US-based PC manufacturers; and (3) waiting for the Chinese government to take action against piracy in advance of its own foray into software development. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Operating System Security: Windows 2000 and UNIX
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper examining security in these two operating systems. Devotees of Windows 2000 and UNIX each claim that their operating system of choice is superior to the other. In this age of the need for heightened security, assessing an operating system on its ability to protect system information and function seems to be a reasonable approach to choosing an operating system. Critical analysis of known security breaches within both systems reveals that while each has unique qualities, both are vulnerable in the network environment. Because networking is such a critical factor for many users, organizations should base their choice of operating system on factors other than that of security. There is no significant difference between the two in that regard. Bibliography lists 20 sources. Includes 3 tables.
