Windows NT Proposal
Migration to Windows NT Proposal Plan
As technology advances so should the products and services provided by companies. In every industry, technology is becoming the key success factor to growth and profit. The ability to communicate with people all around the world has created a new marketplace for business. In order to remain competitive, it is important for companies to utilize the most current technology. At ABC Inc., the use of the latest technological tools allows the company to provide first-rate, quality architectural engineering services to its clients. As part of the company's strategic goal to increase profits and clients, the board of directors established an information technology steering committee to look at how the company could improve its' technology. The committee was tasked to make sure the company had the latest available industry computer tools and to make sure all employees were uniform in terms of the technology. One of the most important findings of the committee's research was the fact that the company and its branches were using varying types of software and hardware systems. The findings also showed that this lack of uniformity caused numerous communication problems not only with the branches and corporate offices, but also the clientele. These findings were reported to senior management. Based on the findings, recently, senior management made the decision to ensure all employees, branch offices and corporate office were working on the same software and hardware systems. Management decided to move the entire company to a Windows NT environment, in order to improve productivity, to create uniformity, to create a more functional network infrastructure and to develop an Intranet and Internet web sites. The Information Technology department (referred to as the "Team") was asked to take a look at the pros and cons of moving to Windows. The Team has prepared the following report based on its research efforts.
Business Requirement(s)

...ipment. This problem would cause headaches when one network was not in synch with the others. Centralized manageability would increase the stability of the network system.
Although Windows NT will be the operating system of choice, some of the company's UNIX system will have to be retained. The UNIX servers provide high-end graphics and geometric functionality so necessary in the architectural engineering field. However, once Windows NT 5.0 arrives with its 64-bit processor, the company will migrate its graphic functions to the NT format. Integrating the UNIX servers into the Windows NT system will be accomplished by using the public domain software known as Samba. Samba allows a UNXI server to "…behave similarly to a Windows-based server…" allowing clients to access and share Unix applications seamlessly via NT.
Communication within our network has much improved with Windows NT. We are now capable of sharing files and data between all offices. Our Fast Ethernet Intranet provides speedy and stable communication transport.

Norma Jeane Mortenson, most famously known as, Marilyn Monroe was born on June 1st, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. She was also known as Norma Jeane Baker in her youth. Her mother, Gladys Monroe Baker Mortensen, was a film-cutter at RKO Studios. Norma’s biological father was never identified. Her mother told her that her father looked like movie star, Clark Gable. Throughout Norma’s childhood, she pictured Clark to be her father. Almost immediately after birth, Norma’s mother became mentally ill and abandoned her, forcing her into a series of foster homes. Norma’s foster parents, Ida and Albert Bolender, were very strict and religious. Gladys paid $25 a month for Norma’s foster care. Despite her mother’s frequent visits, Norma didn’t view Gladys as her mother, rather as “the woman with red hair”. While having a rough childhood of almost being smothered to death at age two and raped at age six, Norma’s life only continued to become a living nigh...
After that, Marilyn started getting her fame for all the jobs she took. In 1946, she signed her first
At this point, Rousseau carries forward some of Locke’s ideologies in that Locke argued the natural law is an innate and inadvisable right of men. However, Rousseau does not remain at the same level of thought, instead, he tries to go beyond Locke’s idea of the natural right. According to Rousseau, in order for men to have social relations, they have to give up certain freedom, which logically means, underlying beneath Rousseau’s ideas, there are possibilities that men’s freedom could be strangled. Through establishing his own reasoning of the social contract, Rousseau tries to eliminate this
Marilyn was most widely known for her acting and modeling career. She received her nickname, Marilyn Monroe, by accident when she didn’t succeed as a girl-next-door at 20th Century-Fox. (30) Marilyn appeared on her first magazine cover in 1944. (5) Her acting career didn’t take off until the 1950’s. (2) Her first movie was called “The Asphalt Jungle”; she acted in many more movies after that. (2, 6) She got annoyed playing the role of the dumb blonde so she moved to New York City and studied acting with Lee Strasberg. (2) Following this, she signed a seven year contract with 20th Century-Fox. (6) Marilyn’s fame was greater than any entertainer in her time, as a result of this she attracted enormous amounts of media and paparazzi. (6)
She was a sex symbol of the 1950s. Her image is one of the most widely recognized in the world. Marilyn Monroe was a famous model, actress, and singer. She gained stardom for playing the dumb blonde character in her movies. Marilyn grew to become more than a skirt flying over her knees and a mysterious death.
Norma marries at sixteen and becomes Norma Jean Baker. Her husband, being in the United States Navy, brought her to a new place far from home. Norma received a job at a RadioPlane factory to help contribute to her husband. Mrs. Baker never took part in the stay at home mom idea, for she wanted to be apart of the working class. There a photographer, taking photos of women contributing to the war efforts, saw her effortless beauty. Marilyn started to be known around the small town and little did she know, she would be the biggest sex-symbol in American history. The young nineteen-year-old was discovered and got offered to go to Blue Book Modeling Agency in L.A. and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, a perfect stage name that fit her personality perfectly, she divorced her husband, and set off to Los Angeles, California for the opening of her career. The brunette beauty was persuaded to go blonde in hopes of making her more successful in the world of beauty and Hollywood. This idea was a success and landed Marilyn a job as a Fox Starlet for Twentieth Century Fox. With her most important job yet, Marilyns career skyrockets. At first she was
The purpose which Rousseau ostensibly gives his social contract is to free man from the illegitimate chains to which existing governments have shackled him. If this is his aim, then it follows that he should be most concerned with the preservation of freedom in political society, initially so that savage man might be lured out of nature and into society in the first place, and afterwards so that Rousseau’s framework for this society will prevent the present tyranny from reasserting itself. Indeed, in his definition of purpose for man’s initial union into society, he claims that, despite his membership in an association to which he must necessarily have some sort of obligation if the contract is to be valid, he will “obey only himself and remain as free as before” (I.vi. 4). However, hardly a paragraph later, he appears to contradict this idea entirely, saying instead that men’s union into society constitutes “the total alienation of each associate with all of his rights to the whole community” (I.vi.6). This apparent contradiction begs the question, what is the freedom that Rousseau envisions for man, and how does this kind of freedom relate to individual rights and protect the individual within a society governed by the general will?
Marilyn Monroe, also known as, Norma Jeane, Norma Jeane Baker, Norma Jeane Mortenson, or Norma Jean depending on how you would like to spell it. Before Monroe was born there is some information about Norma Jeane. Norma Jean was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California.

“Monroe was undoubtedly one of the most glamorous, popular, and controversial movie stars ever to smile from the silver screen.” (Marilyn Monroe American). Marilyn Monroe had an all-too-brief life but in that time span, she made a career many could only dream of. Despite her childhood, insecurities, and many disfunctional marriages, Marilyn went against all odds and become the world’s most known model and actress. (Marilyn Monroe Biography). To some people she was a gifted comedienne, to others a sexual joke, but with no doubt, Marilyn staked a claim for herself in film history as the biggest of the “dumb” blonds. In her lifetime she created a image of what a poor girl from a harsh background could strive to become. Representations of sexuality,
Marilyn got her talent from an avid movie fan, her mom Glady Mortensen, whom she looked up to as a role model (“American National Biography Online: Monroe, Marilyn”). With her perfect complexion, dazzling smile and big blue/ gray eyes, many people knew she was a star from birth (“50 Years Later Marilyn Monroe Still Influences Fashion and Beauty”).

She was on several occasions sexually assaulted; later said she had been raped at the age of eleven.
The reason for this rapid adoption is Linux’s unique ability to provide powerful functionality, security, compatibility, customization at a more cost-effective price than proprietary vendors. In its inception, there were many perceived concerns to utilizing Linux in a corporate infrastructure.
Local Area Networks also called LANs have been a major player in industrialization of computers. In the past 20 or so years the worlds industry has be invaded with new computer technology. It has made such an impact on the way we do business that it has become essential with an ever-growing need for improvement. LANs give an employer the ability to share information between computers with a simple relatively inexpensive system of network cards and software. It also lets the user or users share hardware such as Printers and scanners. The speed of access between the computers is lighting fast because the data has a short distance to cover. In most cases a LAN only occupies one or a group of buildings located next to each other. For larger area need there are several other types of networks such as the Internet.
Advances in technology have changed businesses dramatically, in particular the communication and information technology that are conducted in firms, which changed the appearance and pace of businesses over the past few decades. ICT in particular, has evolved a lot over the past 30 years; important information can be stored in computers rather than being in drawers enabling information to be transferred at a greater volume and speed (Guy, 2009). ICT has also expanded various forms of telecommunications and workload conducted in businesses, internet examples of this include: e-mails can be used to communicate with others...
