__Comparing Web-site__ @http://www.swissinfo.ch  @http://www.discoverhongkong.com 

This is a web-site in Hong Kong created by the tourism board. This web-site is look nice it provides the basic information of Hong Kong. The web-site have links to google map, people can search which district are good for shopping and dining etc.This is an interactive map. Compare with Swissinfo the ineractive corner is really backward. In Swissinfo, have blog people can give feedback for eveything but the interactive corner in HK is only got some videos, wallpapers and photos. But one thing is interesting people can download an application to mobile to get the latest information about HK and also help people to plan a trip in HK.

Also, there is a contact corner people can contact to the web-site owner or get newsletter. Besides, web-site in HK people can sharing their own photos to Flicker.

__Could computing__  As usual the software of Microsoft is needed to pay. But today Microsoft provides free software and connected to the operating system. The new software includes an updated electronic mail program, photo sharing application and a writing tool designed for people. These are the cloud feature of the new windowslive.com.   Microsoft wants to shield its software customers from Google and Salesforce.com to avoid them taking Microsoft’s business. Also, Microsoft wants to link the PC, Web and phone in one services and applications.   Although Microsoft started late when compared with others companies but Microsoft has more than 1 billion Windows-based personal computers, therefore, Microsoft dominated the operating system market. This is the advantage of Microsoft. Because users are lazy to change, if Microsoft got the same free software with the other companies, users are willing to use Microsoft rather than finding a new one. In conclusion, Microsoft is late to start but it got it’s own market share already and this is good enough for Microsoft to succeed already.
