Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP) Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP) Employees are eligible to purchase a licensed copy of Microsoft® Office 2013 Professional Plus to use at home for $11.00. The Home Use Program (HUP) replaces the Use at Home program available with Office 2003. The Use at Home program did not allow Office 2003 to be used for personal purposes; it could only be used for work related activity. The HUP program permits the use of the Office Pro Plus suite of products for personal use. The contractual agreement for the HUP program is between Microsoft and the employee. This license expires with the board’s Software Assurance coverage or upon termination of employment. SCDSB has a contractual commitment for the Software Assurance until October 31, 2014. The decision to extend the program will be a component of the 2014‐2015 budget. Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, OneNote, Publisher, InfoPath and SharePoint Workspace. Using a personal credit card, an employee has the option to purchase Office 2013 Professional Plus or Office for MAC 2011, not both. The employee must register with their board email address. This will be used by Microsoft to confirm eligibility. We have registered eligibility for “scdsb.on.ca” and “ thelearningcentres.com”. Participation in the HUP program is not required to have Office 2013 installed on board owned equipment including the teaching note books (TNBs), which have been rolled out. A plan for the rollout of Office 2010 on board‐owned equipment will be released early in 2012. Note: This program code is assigned to our organization for our sole use in accessing this site. You may not share this code with anyone outside our organization. The SCDSB ITS department does not support the HUP program. Simcoe County District School Board students are not eligible to participate in the HUP program. Software obtained from the Home Use Program is not to be installed on SCDSB equipment. Employees are required to use their SCDSB email address and the following program code: 3EBB905E19 To participate in the Home Use Program, go to http://microsoftHUP.ca Microsoft Customer Support: FAQ https://www.microsofthup.com/hupca/faq.aspx?culture=en‐CA Online Resources http://support.microsoft.com/ph/8753 Phone For employees using Office Professional Plus 2010 Home Use Program software, 90‐day no‐charge telephone support is available in Canada by calling 1‐(800) 668 7975. .

Copyright © 2009, Ivey Management Services Version: (A) 2009-08-13 INTRODUCTION It was the spring of 2009, and Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft Corporation, was planning the launch of Windows 7, the company’s newest operating system. Successfully marketing Windows 7 had become essential for the company, which had faced numerous challenges in recent years. The company’s image had been tarnished by the commercial and public relations failure of its last operating system, Windows Vista. Moreover, the company became the target of a brutal series of advertisements by its largest competitor, Apple Inc., and was continuing to bleed market share. Beta releases had been well received by the Internet community, and Microsoft hoped that Windows 7 would not only improve its bottom line, but also restore its tarnished image.

  • Microsoft Corp.'S Intent to Acquire Intuit Inc. for $1.5 Billion Sent
    icrosoft Microsoft Corp.'s intent to Must Be acquire Intuit Inc. for $1.5 billion sent competitors run- ning for cover—and to lawyers, who composed a 49-page White Paper arguing for gov- ernment intervention against the merger. UPSIDE makes available an exclusive version of the White Paper, which has been circulat- S-H V ed only to U.S. Department of Justice officials and, presumably, to the undisclosed companies that financed it. In the paper, four • e - attorneys from the Palo Alto, Calif., law firm of Wilson, Sonsini, "3 Goodrich & Rosati, buttressed by arguments from two Stanford U University economists, set forth new theories about Microsoft's Oil domination of the digital revolution. Though the paper (edited . for length but not otherwise changed by UPSIDE) reads as though .V- lawyers and economists wrote it, it's important because it repre- 03: o sents one of the most complete accounts of Microsoft's strategy to CO " dominate the software industry. It also presents compelling rea- sons why the government should take action against Microsoft. 52 UP SIDE FEBRUARY 1995 ILLUSTRATION BY BRUCE MCGILLIVRAY pproximately three years ago, Microsoft entered the personal financial software market Awith its own product, Microsoft Money. With the proposed acquisition of Intuit, however, Microsoft is abandoning Money and reentering the market by way of acquiring Quicken. It also is entering the tax prepara- tion software market for the first time, with the acquisi- tion of TurboTax. The deal at bottom raises the follow- ing question: Is the substitution of Microsoft for Intuit as the market leader, and Novell (or any other company) for Microsoft as a competitor, likely to be anticompeti- tive and to tend to create a monopoly? Both the personal finance software and consumer tax preparation software markets are extremely concen- trated.

DESCRIPTORS Access to Information; *Electronic Publishing; Electronic Text; Foreign Countries; Hypermedia; *Information Dissemination; Information Networks; *Information Processing; *Multimedia Materials; *User Friendly Interface; User Satisfaction (Information); Users (Information) IDENTIFIERS Links (Indexing); South Africa; *Value Added ABSTRACT Electronic publications are flooding the market. Some of these publications are created specifically for the electronic environment, but many are conversions of existing material to electronic format. It is not worth the time and effort merely to publish existing material in electronic format if no value is added in the conversion process. The processes by means of which value can be added include: the addition of various media such as graphics, sound, animation, and video; the inclusion of tests, games, and guided tours; the possibility of integrating a number of electronic publications; sophisticated access methods by means of hierarchical structuring, navigational aids, and hyperlinking; and sophisticated full-text search facilities. These ways to add value can be grouped together as either related to content or related to the structure of information. Publishers should take care to develop a user-friendly interface, which is both aesthetically pleasing and functional in terms of visual aspects, and gives easy access to the information.

  • Beyond the Waterfall: Software Development at Microsoft
    Beyond the Waterfall: Software Development at Microsoft Michael A. Cusumano* and Stanley Smith** *MIT Sloan School of Management **International Business Machines Working Paper #3844-BPS-95 Draft: August 16, 1995 Section 1: INTRODUCTION This paper analyses the approach to software development followed at the Microsoft Corporation, the world's largest personal-computer (PC) software company. Microsoft builds operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and Windows NT; applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word (now usually packaged together in Microsoft Office); and new multimedia products and on-line systems such as the Microsoft Network. Inherent in our analysis of this company is a comparison to older software producers that have built operating systems and applications for mainframes, minicomputers, and workstations. Many of these older organizations have followed what has been called a sequential "waterfall" type of development process, which has both advantages (it can be relatively structured) and disadvantages (it is not very flexible to accommodate specification and design changes during a project). The objective for doing this comparison was to examine the effects on Microsoft of developing large-scale software products for the rapidly evolving PC software market. This challenge might have prompted Microsoft to become less unstructured or "hacker-like" and more like older software producers; on the other hand, it might also have prompted Microsoft to seek yet another development process that is structured but departs from waterfall-like practices in order to introduce more flexibility.I Section 2 of this paper begins with a brief discussion of a stylized waterfall process, which includes such typical phases as requirements specification, design, implementation, testing, and product release.

  • Barbarians Led by Bill Gates
    "Bill Gates will love this book. Bill Gates will hate this book. This insider's tale of survival at Microsoft makes a strong argument that the U.S. Department of Justice has no antitrust case against them—but only because antitrust requires intent, and intent suggests strategic thinking. This convenient defense also comes at some cost, derived, as it is, from a view of the world's richest man as technically out of touch and groping his way blindly through business—not the image of Bill Gates-as-Superman that Microsoft PR has spent nearly two decades trying to project. Chairman Bill, it turns out, is just like the rest of us. I love it!" —Robert X. Cringely, author of Accidental Empires and host of the PBS series Triumph of the Nerds "If you ever doubted that Microsoft plays to win, or ever wondered how they do it, you'll learn a lot from this lively memoir that takes us inside the walls at Redmond. In the press we see what Microsoft wants the world to know. Here, the programmers in the trenches let us in on how they see it." —Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community "A fascinating, smartly written insider's perspective. Marlin Eller and Jennifer Edstrom paint a vivid, entertaining picture of how the gears are turned inside the mighty Microsoft machine." —Lise Buyer, Wall Street technology analyst n the past fifteen years Bill Gates has evolved from High-tech Poster Boy I to Richest Man in the World; more recently, he has emerged as the Embattled Corporate Leader in the signal industry of our time.
