While you can lay out hundreds of dollars for software to do things such as produce videos, work with documents, manage your email, track your time, or do a variety of other things, you can also get applications that can do these things for free. Windows Live Essentials is a set of applications that you can download from Microsoft at no cost. There are also Windows Live Services, which are services that you can access and use on the Internet. With these essential applications and services, you can extend what you can do with Windows in many differ- ent ways. 26873c01.indd 1 8/9/09 11:33:19 PM 2 ❘ ChAptEr 1 What are WindoWs Live essentiaLs?

Most of the researches focus on products, market segmentation and how platform triggers innovation and there's a lack of researches that focus on services, the fast growing industry nowadays. In analyzing the service platform, it is important to understand the interactions between different players, such as application developers, content providers, network operators, and users.

  • Turning It Off Is Not the Answer a Guide to Microsoft Family Safety Tools HELPING YOU DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT for YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE
    Turning it off is not the answer A guide to Microsoft family safety tools HELPING YOU DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE Dear Parent As Business and Marketing Officer at Microsoft, it’s part of my job to understand the Internet. But I know that for many millions of busy parents, the online world can sometimes seem an alien place which our children know more about than we do. The Internet is a fantastic phenomenon with opportuni- ties for children to learn, communicate with each other and have fun, but there are also parts of the online world which are inappropriate for children, just as there are places in every city or town where we wouldn’t want our children to go alone. As a parent myself I want to try and ensure that my chil- dren enjoy the online world safely. And I want other parents to feel that they have the knowledge to do the same and to feel comfortable discussing these issues with your children. That is why we have created this guide. This is a source of help for parents who want to understand the online world, how your children use it and the watch- outs which exist. It also outlines the ways in which Microsoft is trying to help you decide how your children should use the Internet and to enforce your decisions, as well as pointing you in the direction of where you can find more support. 2 2 This guide explains how the Internet is used, the tools which Microsoft has built into our products to allow parents to manage your children’s online interactions and step-by-step instructions on how to use them.
