Microsoft is a large software company that develops operating systems, productivity software, servers, and various online services. Their main products include Windows, Office, Xbox, Skype and Bing. They face competition from companies producing alternative operating systems, productivity suites, mobile platforms and internet services. To strengthen their position, Microsoft needs to focus on innovation in mobile devices, tablets, security and new markets, potentially through divesting their Windows business unit to reduce antitrust issues. They also need to ensure their platforms are competitive in the growing mobile and tablet sectors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

10. Recommendations
1. Divestiture
At a minimum, Microsoft's Windows operating system monopoly should be
split off into a separate company from the application and Internet divisions.
This would end the inherent opportunities for abuse of one company competing
in application markets while controlling the "field" of competition as well. It
may also prove necessary to separate Microsoft's application and Internet
divisions.
2. The mobile market
The mobile space could be one of the biggest issues facing Microsoft. The
company's Windows Mobile platform is still toiling away in a market that's
being dominated by innovative, touch-screen platforms, like Apple's iOS and
Google's Android operating system. Microsoft plans to release Windows Phone
7 later this year to compete with those providers, but it's debatable just how
viable the company's platform will be. By being late to the new mobile market,
and forgetting what consumers really wanted, Microsoft has some serious
explaining to do when it finally delivers Windows Phone 7.10 www.eweek.com
11. Recommendations
3. Tablets
tablets at his company's Worldwide Partners Conference, it's quickly becoming
clear that Microsoft doesn't have a tablet strategy in place that can even come
close to rivalling Apple's iPad. Part of the fault for that can be attributed to HP,
which originally planned to offer a Windows-based HP Slate but recently
announced that its tablet will run WebOS instead. Some might believe that HP's
decision to go with WebOS has more to do with its recent acquisition of Palm.
But it might also tell the market that Windows isn't as ready for tablets as
Microsoft wants everyone to believe. After all, HP would have gone with the
best platform it could. It may be saying that the best platform isn't Windows.
4. Security
Security continues to be one space where Microsoft misses the mark both in the
consumer market and the enterprise. With each Patch Tuesday, the company is
forced to deliver several updates to protect Windows users from potential harm.
It has even been forced to patch Office, Internet Explorer and other software
products. That's not a good thing. And it hurts its chances of fully appealing to
consumers and enterprise customers that are deeply concerned with losing
important data. Security means the difference between success and failure in
today's marketplace. And so far, Microsoft isn't doing well enough.
12. Recommendations
5. Innovation
Innovation has always been a problem for Microsoft. Although Windows was
an extremely innovative product when it first launched, Microsoft has failed to
deliver anything that even comes close to matching the innovation its
competitors have developed since. As much as the company wants to be
considered a major player in the tech space, it will not achieve that if it
continues to deliver iterative updates to products that customers don't want.
Innovation reigns supreme in today's tech market. And it's on Microsoft to start
innovating to meet those demands.
