1. What do you think of the program "Microtype"? Just give an overall impression.
Microtype is a good program and now I can type faster then I used to, but everynow and then it gets very boring.

2. If you were on the Microtype design team, what would you have changed?
I would change the games at the end of each section to something that is more fun to play so that this program wouldn't be as boring. Other than that i wouldn't change a thing.

Windows Vista

.

What is 'Vista'?

Windows Vista is the name of the upcoming release of Microsoft Windows, a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media center.

.

Do you think people will be willing to pay Microsoft a great deal for the product judging from what you've read online?

The retail price for the new operating starts at $259 for the Basic version and moves up to $499 per copy for Vista Ultimate. Upgrading an existing Windows machine will cost consumers between $129 for Basic and $299 for Ultimate. I think people will be willing to pay for a product like this becuase its has better features and upgraded things.

.

Are you interested in purchasing Vista?

I wouldn't purchase Vista because it cost to much, I have no problems with Window XP, and it still works great. I would probably be interested in buy it when the price goes down or when Windows XP becomes out of date.
