Anyone have suggestions for significant Microsoft Office XP improvements or additions?
My software engineering teacher wants us to prototype an improvement of Microsoft Office (XP, I would assume). I have no idea what could be improved or added to an office suite that already takes 4 CD-Roms to install?
"The Microsoft Office suite includes these programs: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, FrontPage, Publisher, Visio, and PhotoDraw. Write a 1,500-2,000 word position paper that either (1) makes the case for adding a new software package to this suite or (2) advocates replacing one of the existing programs with a superior alternative.
The purpose of your paper is to persuade upper management to commit a large sum of money to create a new software product. You must justify your position by citing published software reviews or other documents that either demonstrate a market demand for the new product you have proposed or indicate dissatisfaction with the product you intend to replace. You must cite at least twelve different sources; at least nine of these must be published articles or books. (In other words, you may include no more than three Web pages in your references.) "
It could be anything, but it must be significant, and it must be a popular idea, so that I can cite sources. Even a not-so-good idea that I can ?fake? enthusiasm for would be good at this point. I am desperate. I don?t want the paper, I just want ideas, so that I can write the paper myself.
Why do professors give assignments like this to students when there are teams of engineers at Microsoft that get paid to sit there and think of stuff like this already? If I had a good idea, I would probably sell it to MSFT myself
Maybe he could assign us to solve world hunger or create a system for transporting people electronically across the globe, like Star Trek?
