My Journal 5

By researching two resources, John C. Dvorak used his experience to give me his opinion about Microsoft’s new business model that is reducing prices of all software. Microsoft endless improvements Microsoft Office software and produce new cheaper or free software to consumer. Combine the information from the other website, Linux is one of new products of Microsoft Company. Linux is just as good as Windows and it is free and convenience. So, it can adjust the software market and can be accepted by most consumers. In the future, Microsoft Company will develop cheaper and free service for consumers because almost nobody wants to spend much money buying software that they just can use more or less 60% function. These two resources gave me a lot of evidence. These two resources provided to me some data such as pictures, charts, and numbers. I can subjectively find out and understand the difference between older business model and new one of Microsoft Company. In my opinion, the claim these two resources are supporting is Microsoft is producing more cheap and advanced software to consumers. They want to let consumers can spend less money buying good items. Therefore, they can lead the software market whole the world. They can adjust what they should produce, what is consumers need, and what price consumers can accept.

  1. Andy, could you clarify for me which claim each source supports? If they both support the same claim, then tell me that.

    You did a great job on the summary, but what I'd like you to do now is synthesize the information. That means I want you to combine the information, and write a short passage with the combined information.

    If you're unsure what I'm talking about, refer to this tutorial for synthesizing information.

    Your paragraph doesn't need to be very long, I just need to know that you are able to write using sources, which is what synthesis is. Be sure to use APA in-text citations, just like you did in your overview.

    You need not repeat the References list, since you did such an excellent job here.

    Post your response as a comment here.

  2. The claim of the first source is Microsoft reduces the price of the all software in order to attract more consumers.
    The claim of the second source is Microsoft continues exploring and producing new advanced software.
    Synthesize: Microsoft continued producing much popular and useful software for consumers, such as Windows, Office and Linux; but almost software is experience. Therefore, Microsoft endless improvements Microsoft Office software and produce new cheaper or free software to consumers. These two sources can help me know the difference of the business model between before and now. I can know more information about the information about popular operating and application software. And the article can help me know why and how to reduce the price of productions.
