  2. Open Source Software • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source • Can be operating systems (Android & LINUX) • Can be browser (Google Chrome) • Can be productivity apps (Open Office) • It free and the user can modify the code • I am not advocating you use these products; but you should be aware of them

  3. Free to do what you like XXX is licensed under the terms of the LGPLv3 (new contributions are dual-licensed under both LGPLv3+ and MPL). This means you're free to use it for personal and commercial use, you're free to copy it and give copies away, and you're free to modify and redesign the source code, and to create derivative works.

  4. Open Officean open source suite of applications http://download.openoffice.fm/free/?pk=10325

  5. LibreOfficehttp://www.libreoffice.org/download/ • A product from some folks who broke away from Open Office. • Both Open Office and LibreOffice are available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. • While both have features like Conditional Formatting, Pivot Table and Solver, some Excel feature might be missing or work differently. Do not open critical Excel files in a free app.

  6. Cloud computinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). Cloud computing entrusts, typically centralized, services with your data, software, and computation on a published application programming interface (API) over a network. It has a lot of overlap with software as a service (SaaS).

  7. Internet (cloud) user server

  8. A simple use: file storage • You might want to keep backup copies • Your files are available no matter where you are • You can share files with others Box.Net: http://www.box.net/filesWindows Live Skydrive: http://skydrive.live.comMediaFire: http://www.mediafire.comFileFactory: http://www.filefactory.comFileSavr: http://www.filesavr.comFileDropper: http://www.filedropper.comRapidShare: http://www.rapidshare.com

  12. Applications in the Cloud Click either image • Google docs. • Microsoft Web Apps. Like Office suite but not as powerful

  13. Microsoft Office 365 • A cloud computing system for small and large business. • You can use either Microsoft Web Apps or Office 2010 on your own computers

  14. Not just Goggle & Microsoft • Search the internet for “cloud computing” • Hewlett-Packard has a full-service system • So has IBM with its SmartCloud
