I AM A FREELANCE ARCHITECT REPRESENTING STEX, AND I DONT HAVE PERMANENT JOB/EMPOYMENT, WITH ANY FIRM - BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM WORKING OUT A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL STUFF ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TECHNIQUE I USE IS CALLED [ ROLE PLAYING ] ! ROLE PLAYING: TO BE A CEO / A TECHNOLOGY ENGINEER / A SALES PROFESIONAL / A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER. ROLE PLAYING GIVES ME THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN //EXPLORE // QUESTION //THINK & // DREAM. FOR EXAMPLE : I COULD ROLE PLAY TO BE A tECHNOLOGY ARCHITECT AT IBM and wonder/dream of a lot of Things. LET ME DREAM ABOUT A FEW TECH COMPANIES LIKE IBM AND SEE IF I CAN GET IN SOME VALUABLE IDEAS TO THE DRAWING BOARD ! MICROSOFT : AS A Technology Architect and CTO -------------------------------------------------- 1] IMPROVE OPERATING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES AND ENSURE CREDIBILITY AS A TECHNOLOGY MAJOR. [ NOT AN AD TECH company ] [ Secure and keep safe - Operating system Systems Folders ] SYSTEM FOLDERS SHOULD BE READONLY. RUN 5 PROCESSES/ MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVICES : THAT LOCK THE SYSTEMS FOLDERS FOR READONLY USE. ONCE A PROCES OR SERVICE LOCKS A SYSTEM FOLDER / THE FOLDER CAN'T BE ACCESSED BY ANYBODY. E.G: THE FILE IS LOCKED BY ANOTHER PROCESS ! 2] Build Windows for POWER PC AND SPARC platforms. [ HOME COMPUTING/ DESKTOP WORKSTATIONS - MARKET IS HUGE ] 3] BUY OUT A TECHNOLOGY HARDWARE platform // COMPANY : Hardware and Software go together. [ Works better always ] 4] ALLOW SOFTWARE USAGE ON A MEMBERSHIP/SUBSCRIPTION BASIS : E.g Create a ORIGINAL market for Windows Applications and Games. [ Not modelled on the style of Apple appstore or google playstore ] Old Windows software and games Were Very good too !. The Current generation and the new generation must have the facility to experience old windows software too.] [ VISUAL STUDIO 2008 - was a great piece of software ] 5] Offer Microsoft Membership for unlimited Software downloads AND usage at : SQL / VISUAL STUDIO / WINDOWS/ OFFICE at 40 $ Per year. [ 1 BILLION USERS : = 40 BILLION $ NET EARNING PER YEAR ] 6] BUILD A SIMPLE WINDOWS CLUSTERING TECHNOLOGY : TO ALLOW DEVELOPERS AND ENGINEEERS To build A Windows Cluster WITH EASE ! - E.g a Cluster of 5-7 Windows Virtual Machines ! 7] CREATE CPU DRIVERS AND VIRTUAL CPU's - FOR THE MULTI CPU MARKET !. 8] SAFEGUARD AND UTILISE EXISTING TECHNOLOGY ASSETS LIKE : MSPAINT | NOTEPAD | WORDPAD: RTF wisely. RTF TO PDF Presentations are better than many word presentations !. RICH TEXT FORMAT is an important file format. 9] License out the Windows GUI system to Linux | unix Platforms at a Price : 25 USD $ Per OS license. 10] LARGE TECHNOLGY investment in cloud computing are not really going to make Money for any Enterprises. Many Small and Mid sized Datacenter Technology companies offer more value for money and a better setup ! CLOUD COMPUTING STRATEGY SHOULD BE CORRECTED, CHANGED AND A NEW STRATEGY SHOULD BE DEPLOYED [ FOR EXAMPLE : USING SCALE MP TO PROVIDE A BETTER TECHNOLOGY SERVICE ] 11] LICENSE OUT : PROGRAMING LANGUAGE RIGHTS to any other TECHNOLOGY MAJORS, FREE, AS A STANDARD: E.g C# to NODE C# ENGINEERS COULD BUILD SOFTWARE ON THE LINUX / UNIX PLATFORMS. LEARNING A NEW TECHNOLOGY OR LANGUAGE is time consuming at times : [ learn technology Once or TWICE - Use every where ]. This is important because people and Technologies get out dated quickly. MY C# skil sets should last me for a life time - not just 3 years or 5 years ! E.g UNIX is not owned by anybody: UNIX is a standard and people build OPERATING SYSTEMS using the standard ! 12] DEFEND TECHNOLOGIES LIKE THE INTERNET EXPLORER FROM market Prejudice : By stating the following. [ IE is the default browser packaged with the WINDOWS OS and it is a technology Prerogative ]. Other browsers that work on windows can only work if they are easily downloadable through the IE browser. IE being a primary browser promotes or facilitates - easy Distibution of other browsers like netscape/chrome/firefox. The user has the rights to chose a default browser. 13] THE BING SEARCH has improved a lot since it's inception. but the Name BING is a little silly. MICROSOFT could have utilised the URL : www.live.com TO BUILD OUT IT'S SEARCH PLATFORM. ! Live search sounds more sophisticated than Bing search ! 14] Imbibe a culture of Technolgy Maturity : OPEN TO ACCEPTING OTHER 3RD PARTY TECHNOLOGIES // WORKING OUT CROSS FITMENTS WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXAMPLE: I WORK FOR STEX and still study IBM / MICROSOFT / GOOGLE / ORACLE technologies to improve STEX Work culture. [ There is some learning and maturity involved in this process AND IT'S WISE To remember STEX doesn't do everything / it does only some types of work, owing to it's function, that of a design bureau. Some times second or third Opinions matter too ! ]. 15] ...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOURAV/STEX FREELANCE : Enterprise Architect/Systems Architect.
