The analysis note Hello. I carry on to analyze the situation about how we use software of Microsoft in our company and today I wrote analysis note to our company management. It’s a boring and difficult text. I hope I didn’t make a lot of errors. Coworkers good afternoon, In connection with our company loses the partner status of Microsoft company and our company loses right to use some software of Microsoft. Department Information Technologies made an analysis of the situation, defined and calculated software of Microsoft licenses which our company has to buy. There is the table in the annex 1. The table has 3 parts. First. It’s an existing situation. It shows software of Microsoft which our company uses now. The Company has to buy these products to obey the law. It is most expensive and easiest way. It envisages to buy all licenses of products which the company uses without extra works. Second. It’s an optimizing case. It shows how we can change using some products to simpler products. The simpler products have less functions but they aren’t business critical but their price substantially less. In my opinion this case more balanced, because it doesn’t break usual environment of workers and its direct cost significantly less, but it has the minuses. The company management should take into account these minuses: A) IT specialists of company have to reinstall some products of Microsoft on a few servers. It can take a month. B) Also, IT specialists have to reinstall the operating systems and other software on all computers of workers. It can last about couple months. Third. It is a mixing case. It shows that the company can change some products of Microsoft to alternate software. Alternate software basically means Open Source software. This case is less expensive and more difficult because it makes more difficult environment for workers and IT specialists. The company has to change office package to open source office package also a few computers of the workers have to change their Windows to Linux. It will be very difficult time until they will be used to. It can last months. Also should take into account that company has to change one comprehensive solution of exchange emails and collective work to five different. It makes more complex work for support the park of the servers for IT specialists of the company and it require to hire more IT specialists.

English slang. People. Chapter one. All names are fictional. Coincidences aren't random. :) Today I wanna speak about my friends. I have started learning English slang and this my first task about this theme. I don't know what I will write exectly. And therefore I won't tell their real names because it might be not pleased for them. But if they will recognize someone I hope they won't beat me for that. :) So let's go. I have several best buddies. We know each other a lot of years. With three of them I went to same school. And with two of them I even went to same class. Our crew contains not only school friends. We all are adult peeps and our crew amount about 5 the best chums. Their names are Jhon, Bob, Bill, Jack. I hope I didn't forget anyone. I mean, I talk about them peeps who I see more often than other. About them who get together to go out a pub to have fun and get totally drunk. But today it cases seldom. Because they are adult, strong, brainy men. Several of them have their family. Three of them bring up kids. All kiddos are cutie and kind. Their tykes aren't adult yet. But someone is already going to school. One of the kiddos is the little tyke and he don't even go to kindergarten. I can't say about my pals "they are hot" or "he is a stud" because I'm man, but I think their wives think about them so. I can say about Jack he is an art whiz - he can draw pictures and play the guitar. About Bob I can say he is a smart cookie because if he wasn't such he wouldn't have own company a lot of years. Jhone is some languages buff and he knows several foreign languages and now he is living in Europe. Bill is the really lucky dude he lives with really hot wife. When I was studying in a university there was one dude who tried to get buddy-buddy, but he was wacko and smarty pants. I couldn't stand it and we couldn't get buddies.

Using alternate software I carry on learning English. I didn’t know what I have should write during a couple of weeks. And today I wrote some email to a company about using alternate software. Hello Colleagues, I prepared a table with a list of software of Microsoft this table in the attached Excel file. The list I separated of several parts. These parts are about user’s and server’s software. The table contains a column with a list of an alternate software. This software based on Open Source and for free. You have to understand that this software doesn’t look like software from Microsoft. Functions, features and etc. can be look differently than you used to. But in they used to use their environment and this situation will arise conflicts, stresses, and arguments in our office. The experience of use the laptop from the big meeting room shows when worker fall into another environment they get panic and stress. Besides alternate software in my opinion I tried to show an objectivity possibility to change an environment of several workers to alternative software. The most difficult changing will be change software of worker of next departments software developers, accounting, scanners. Also we have possibility to migrate from Microsoft Exchange. But you have to know that Exchange not only is email server. It is really difficult software has a lot of list of functions such as schedulers, meetings, reminders. Assistant our directors are used to using these functions. And if we want to use Open Source software we have to use more than one Exchange we have to use about six programs to replace it. This will make our system more difficult. Based on the above I added to table column called Saving. It shows how much money we can saving if we will get use alternate software. Best regards, Kirill.

The right things to do. I learnt several words this week and decided to work with them. I know no one who does a charity. I don't talk about a famous people. I think for famous people a charity is making an image of a good man. But I think our society have to make a law about charity where everyone who has income more than certain amount musts pay tax for charity funds. Each have to choose one or more charity funds themselves. The first charity fund has to be for people. It can be fund for ill children or people who have cancer etc. Other charity funds can be not only for people they can be for pets, nature or something else. One in three or five years they can change charity funds but they have to pay tax. I think that tax rate has to be progressive. The higher income the higher tax rate. But I think this law cannot be suggestion from government, it have to be suggestion from society. It would be not bad if government, in my country, accepted a law about “pets registration” like a weapon. I don’t talk that pets are dangerous. I talk about that people have to more responsible for their pets. I think that people can buy pets only in special shops. Shops have to have a license for sell pets. Everyone who is breeding pets and wants to sell it have to apply for any shop. I understand that people might not want to buy a pet, but they might want to take some pet from outside. Several years ago I took a small kitty from stairs in apartment house where I live. It was small, nice kitty. Someone threw it away. I don’t know why. It was miserable and I felt sorry for her. She lived with my family about twelve or more years and died 3 years ago. And now I think people who takes pets from outside have to registration it in vet clinics and gets documents for them. If man decided to get rid of his pet, he have to be fined for a big amount or send to corrective labor. Amount have to depends on his income and have to be more than three or six months income but the law cannot leave man without minimal live on otherwise we will need to rescue him from hunger death. Are you for or against this law?

A car repair station Yesterday I drove to a car repair station. My car isn’t broken. Several months ago I changed a manual transmission to an automatic transmission in my car and since when I accelerate the car to one hundred and more kilometers per hour my car starts to vibrate. A car mechanic promised me fix it. I hoped he kept your promise.

I hope I didn't make a lot of errors.
