They have a child in the advertisement to show that the whole family can use the computer, so they are targeting middle-aged people and families to use their computer. Therefore, Apple and Windows are advertising towards similar but somewhat different crowds. There are a few problems, such as fallacies, in the advertisements that many readers could easily overlooking while reading the ad. Both Apple’s and Windows’ advertisements present fallacies to their audience. Fallacies tend to be overlooked in many common advertisements.

As can be seen, changing the large…

Microsoft Windows Failures Microsoft has undoubtedly had a major influence on the PC since its introduction of MS-DOS 1.0 in 1981.

First, I wanted to address user familiarity. According to a recent survey; 25.4% of users are currently using Windows 10 (“OS Platform Statistics”, 2016). That makes it the most widely adopted, modern, OS and the best platform to use in the new office. As at a minimum 1-in-4 employees would already be familiar with the OS. I specifically chose the 64-bit Enterprise version of Windows 10 (W10) to anticipate the needs of the business. The 64-bit version combined with the 6GB of Random Access…
