Part III. Write a précis for the following passage. (60%)
I don’t know why so many people have it in for Microsoft. Jealousy, I guess. After all, it’s not many people who can persuade you buy something that’s not working properly, and then charge you in advance for something that may or may not be better.
Many of you probably know that July 31 was the final deadline for Microsoft’s volume customers to pay for the company’s new subscription-based way of selling software. I won’t bore you with the details of the new licensing program, called Licensing 6.0. It’ll be enough just to say it has forced companies and governments all over the world to rethink their software budgets and whether they can truly afford to keep buying Microsoft server, operating-system and office-suite software. Or, more to their terror, whether they can afford not to.
The fact is like this: Software manufacturers rely on selling new versions of their programs to get revenue. But this is unpredictable: How can you be sure everyone is going to Office 97 suite, for example, meaning they not only avoided the Office2000 upgrade, but also Office XP.
In software terms, they’re like those annoying tribes that people keep discovering. These tribes seem happy and content wandering around in bits of clothes made of leaves, and drinking their simple but strong tree-sap wine, carefully ignorant of the benefits of air-conditioning , cable TV , etc.
So Microsoft’s come up with a novel solution that ensures that these slow-mover—the Office 97 users, not the annoying tribes, -- buy upgrades. This guarantees the company’s revenues to remain nice and steady.
Under these new licensing rules, a volume customer is encouraged to subscribe to software, rather than purchasing it immediately. On the plus side he’ll get all the fixes, support, and new versions that come out during the subscription period, as well as being able to spread out his costs. On the downside he won’t actually own the software he’s been using, and won’t be guaranteed an updated version unless it comes out during the subscription period. This program, ironically, is called Software Assurance, which not only sounds like something from persistent salesmen, but also seems to be a misused name, due to the lack of assurance it offers.
Unsurprisingly, here’re some serious complaints going on, which has forced Microsoft to extend the deadline twice. Governments, with strict software budgets, are actively looking elsewhere. Peru is contemplating a law requiring all public institutions to switch to software that can be adapted and rewritten freely without copyright restriction. And Norway last month allowed its contracts with Microsoft to expire, opening the door for cheaper alternatives.
What should you do? Personally, I’d prefer leaf skirts: there’s no compelling reason to upgrade to Office 2000 or XP. The added features you’re paying for with each upgrade are rarely must-have items; in most cases they’re either decorative or actually making using the software harder. In nearly all cases they’re rarely used and
when they are they just bring trouble. When I tried to make use of a feature which supposedly allowed me to update text simultaneously across documents, everything ended up looking like the morning after a student party I once attended in a farmyard.
I spent hours converting the fancy new formulas to plain old text. Indeed, with about half of users still happy with Office 97, you’d better save your Word documents in the older format just in case another user can’t read your file properly.
If you want to save money, consider dropping Microsoft altogether. There are alternatives to Office: StarOffice, from Sun Microsystems is into its sixth version and sells for $80, or 20% of Microsoft Office. Better yet, Software602 Inc. offers an office package for free with an optional add-on for $30. another option: gobeProductive, $75 from GoBe Software Inc.
For Microsoft, stuck with competition from earlier release of its own products, all this argument makes sense. For the rest of us? Stick with software that you’re happy with as long as you can. And meanwhile, enjoy your tree-sap wine.

Many people hate Microsoft probably because they are jealous: they think it is unfair for it to make people buy something with problems, and then charge them again for something else that may be equally bad.
Micr osoft’s Licensing 6.0, a subscription-based selling system, has forced all users to reconsider their software budgets. Usually software producers make profits by selling new versions of their programs, but it is hard to predict how their new products will be received, because many users prefers to stay with their older versions. To solve this problem, Microsoft has come up with a new method—selling products on a subscription basis. Subscribers can get services and free upgrading in their subscription period, but they do not own the program and they will not get new version unless they happen to come out during that period.
This new strategy has naturally met with complaints, which have forced Microsoft to postpone the subscription deadline twice. Many governments, such as Peru and Norway, are considering dropping Microsoft products.
Personally, I prefer to stay with the old version because most of the newly-added features are not really useful. If you want to stop using Microsoft programs, there are many alternatives. For example, StarOffice, Software602 office package, and gobeProductive are wither cheaper or completely free.
It’s reasonable for Microsoft to keep improving its products, but for user, staying with the one you like is preferable.
