For Chapter 11, I visited Microsoft.com’s Windows site. Windows, of course, is the industry-leading personal computer operating system. The Windows website, like most product websites from major manufacturers, provides links across the top of the page to things like a products page, a page dedicated to exploring Windows’ various capabilities, the Microsoft online store, a downloads page for both Windows and add-ons, and a “Help & How-to” page for customer support. There is a series of links to associated Windows-related social networking sites – Facebook, Twitter, the Windows team blog – and a host of assorted ad links for Microsoft/Windows-related add-ons and products such as SkyDrive (a Windows Live cloud-storage service), Microsoft Security Essentials (Microsoft’s free antivirus program), and a preview of the upcoming Windows 8 OS. The page is heavily oriented towards consumers, as opposed to IT professionals, hyping the entertainment options afforded by Windows, but there is a row of links towards the bottom of the page which includes info for IT professionals and developers, among others. For troubleshooting problems with Windows, or evaluating version suitability for home or office, this is the go-to site.
