The two largest computer software companies, Microsoft & Apple, make the operating and programs that are pre-installed on most computers.
Is there any problem with simply using the products that these two companies create for us?
- Since they contain some restrictions, we cannot modify or delete. This action ( pre-installed) may slow down our computers.
( as some programs that not all of us really use).... It is not user friendly at all.
eg. Micsoft's vista -"bloatware".

Why do some people choose to use open-source software such as Linux?
- it is because there are different kinds of software for us to choose
- it is free for us..
- Some softwares can be edit... it can meet our own need...
Who own the right to modify your digital tools? Does it matter at all? Why or Why not?
the owner of these softwares.
it causes some problems for us.
For examle, it wastes our memory. We don't really need some programs at all ..but we cannot delete it.
However, some people, including me, don't know computer very much. thus, it may not a problam at all. As pre-installed can provide us a basic software. it is easy for the new users to do the simple work with computer.
In additon, there are open-source software. we just download what thing we want to suit our need. it is not necesscary for us to modify it. if we don't like it, we can just delete and download another one. so it is not a problam.

yes, i agree.
ReplyDeletei am not a good computer users too, and the programmes which are pre-installed in my notebook supply me a basic element for me to use.
If the software can not satify my need, i also can download some updated or the software which is more suitable for me through open-source.
I see you point. Those proprietary operating systems were "memory-demanding" as they often not just included one software.
ReplyDeleteI think I just like you, do not know much about computer, will think that it is convenient for us becuase we just follow the instructions to install the software and just use it.
agree,Microsoft is not user friendly and it forced to pre-install the window Vista in my new notebook, however, Vista is useless and make the computer to run slowly, do u agree with me?
ReplyDeletei agree with you that, some software really waste our space
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, some software we never use it but it have to exist in your computer forever.
