Abstract
This essay discusses how corporate spending for desktops since the year 2000, seems to be fading away resulting in corporate buyers migrating only toward new appliances. The author concludes this paper by suggesting that the sluggish growth in the desktop industry will remain for several years from 2002 to 2006, as consumers opt for technology substitution and competition forces price cutting.
From the Paper
?The desktop industry has experienced high growth rates in the past due to the increase in demand for computer and other related desktop devices. This growth rate continued to grow till the last few years. In 2000, the revenue figures for the desktop industry reached to the mark of 128 million dollars, a record sales figure. (Worldwide PC Forecast 3) However, the high sales figures were primarily due to the issue of the millennium bug during which companies made their revenues by replacing the outdated equipments with the new ones. In the later period, the sales growth rate declined to a considerable level because of a steep slump in demand as the problem of millennium bug was being solved. This slow growth rate is being anticipated for the coming several years.?

"Introduction
There are three major classes of computers: mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers. As computer technology has developed, the lines between these classes have blurred and each class has stretched its boundaries into the other. Today's desktop computers (microcomputers) are capable of performing calculations which 30 years ago would have been limited to the powerful mainframe computer class. This research examines the state of the microcomputer market and considers the current technology available, as well as where that technology is headed and the effect of that technology on decision makers.

Abstract
This paper describes inhibitors to adopting, installing as new or upgrading, the Linux or Unix operating system in a desktop or workstation environment. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, humans have been resistant to making significant changes voluntarily, but have proven reasonably adaptable when the change is forced. Users are generally unlikely to be excited by the prospect of learning a different operating system and application software, but usually grow to enjoy the stability and consistency of Unix that other systems lack. (Wilson) Training Windows users on Unix is generally little more difficult than training them to use a new version of Windows. (Zamaris) Using Unix does have one significant difference for the end-users: the crashes, unexpected configuration changes and malware infestations common to Windows systems will no longer interfere with worker productivity. No matter what the benefits are, there will always be a few users who are unable to deal with any changes whatsoever. It is generally not beneficial for an organization to employ people who cannot adapt. Migrating to Unix desktops provides a good opportunity to identify and terminate them."

From the Paper
"The Federal government has to implement a system of checks and balances because of the broad range of responsibility that is involved in the contract process. Funkhouse reports on a local government auditing study that was conducted in large U.S. cities. A mail survey was sent to the head of each audit organization, followed be additional mailings and email and phone contact. The main outcome was that the audit directors clearly saw the value of the audit process in identifying problems in their jurisdictions. They were also proactive in initiating audits beyond those that were mandated and believed that in the long run, this would result in cost savings. The article further states that local government auditing will continue to get stronger and will eventually filter down to smaller municipalities."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of RSS technology by Travelocity as a marketing device. RSS allows Travelocity to extend its marketing and advertising campaigns to its customers' desktops on their computers at home or office in a manner that was impossible before RSS technology. Users can receive immediate broadcasts of specials and other deals and just as quickly secure their reservation via RSS technology.
From the Paper
"Travelocity is one of the most successful online merchants of discounted airfare in the travel industry. It is also one of the most innovative. Travelocity recently instituted a new marketing campaign based on RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology which is in reality nothing more than a marketing device to extend the reach of Travelocity's marketing collateral and products (Bicknell, 2006). RSS is a web-based technology that allows websites to immediately distribute content to users' desktops and for users who have installed the RSS service application, to automatically receive these web broadcasts without physically or consciously having to remember to do so."

Abstract
This paper takes the issues discussed in Dr. Theodore Levitt's article, 'Marketing Myopia' and applies his theory to the Microsoft Corporation. This paper defines how the Microsoft culture had become so myopically focused on their own technologies and the processes used to create them. The paper also looks at the reversal that happened after their dominance of the PC Desktop came under serious risk. The paper goes on to say that Microsoft's epiphany regarding their myopic view of themselves is perfectly defined in Dr. Levitt's classic article.
Outline:
Curing Myopia
Improving Microsoft
Microsoft Nearly Misses the Internet due to Myopia
Microsoft's Marketing Euphony
Battling For the Desktop
Markets and Competitors
From the Paper
"Based on the strategies of gaining greater voice-of-the-customer data, committing to only build applications after customers had provided feedback and quantification of market demand, instituting customer satisfaction ratings for the first time, and requiring every product have integration to the Internet in its first release, Microsoft had to also completely re-align its organizational strategy not around technologies, but markets. In response to the threat of losing the Desktop, Microsoft created divisions specifically aligned to customer needs. Just as Marketing Myopia, 1975 points out, for companies to survive they must become owners of markets and not technologies, Microsoft took this path with the result being the creation of entirely new types of operating systems including Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Office 11, and widespread adoption of the XML protocol which is highly efficient integration approach customers have en masse adopted in their own companies as well.

Abstract
This paper offers suggestions vis-a-vis the improvement of Riordan Manufacturing's technical infrastructure. Specifically, the paper cites the exploitation of shared desktop technology as well as the implementation of HRIS and HRIC capabilities as being positive first steps towards harnessing the energies of new employees and bringing them into the fold. Ultimately, the paper concludes that Riordan Manufacturing cannot afford to wait in this matter if it is genuinely desirous of building upon its present business momentum.
From the Paper
"Riordan Manufacturing and Technical Infrastructure There can scarcely be any doubt that technical infrastructure adjustments are necessary if Riordan is to maintain its present level of success. The next several pages will outline how Riordan can use a shared corporate desktop, HRIS technology, HRIC innovations and a company-wide intranet to bring members of the Riordan "family" together while fostering creativity and innovation. Ultimately, what should soon become apparent is that a revised technical infrastructure can work effectively as a unifying tool. More so now than ever before, an effective technical infrastructure is needed at Riordan manufacturing as it grapples with the departure of a large number of its employees. In the first of the two strategic positioning papers authored by this consulting agency, a number of important points were raised."

Abstract
This paper gives specific examples of how recent technological advances have been used by history teachers to enhance the way lessons are taught and information conveyed. The paper describes how history teachers have used the Internet, various desktop software, and computer games to stimulate their students and make classes more interesting. It then explains why this method of teaching history has proven more successful than traditional pedagogical methods.
From the Paper
"In 1983 Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, introduced his theory of ?multiple intelligences? (MI). His book Intelligence Reframed showed that intelligence is multi- rather than uni-dimensional. He said that teachers can have a much better understanding of how learning takes place when realizing that each student has a different combination of what he defined as seven different intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal and intra-personal. While all individuals have each of these intelligences, they differ in their respective profiles of intellectual strengths and weaknesses. ?No intelligence is in and of itself artistic or non-artistic; rather, several intelligences can be put to aesthetic ends if individuals so desire,? said Gardner.
