 Before Microsoft came along,there really was no software industry~just a few companies selling very highpriced software only to companies,big companies. The idea of lowcost software that would be empowering (赋予.... 权力) for individuals and that there could be literally around the world hundreds of thousands of these successful companies―that was part of the Microsoft dream. And in fact,the software industry is 10 ,000 times bigger because of the work we do. Microsoft has a uniform platform that has gotten out to go around the world. And so in every country we've helped companies grow up,create jobs,pay taxes around the software world. The main competitors who don't like us are actually hardware companies who have been used to charging very high prices for the hardware and the PCs changed that.

  It's hard to think of a business that's had a more positive effect for customers than the PC business. The rate of product improvement provides its ability to create and stay in touch. You know the closest comparison is when publishing came along and people had books. Of course books created a problem. You know,the people wanted to control things didn't like books;the people who wanted to sell highpriced hand written things didn't like the printing press. But actually it was something that people knew really that it was very positive. The same thing's happened with the P C. There's no company that in terms of our work has gotten as positive feedback and has gotten as broad a set of users. Those users are always telling us what they'd like to see us make better,and that's partly why it's a fun business because we get to make new versions of the software all the time.

  Well,the vision of Microsoft is about information as you want it,any time,anywhere,any place. And this is an overall strategy about making it easier to write software,easier to share data,revolutionizing user interface with the speech and handwriting. And making reading off the computer as good or better than paper and so today we will see that the horizons for software will let us get so much more than even what we have now.

   Street art can be found on buildings,sidewalks,street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings,sculptures,cloth or even stickers. Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now,even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists.

  It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also,because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission,street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of nontraditional cultural expression.

  Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their "tag" on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti. It is visually exciting and energetic.

  Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a dispute between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.

  During the 1980s,two famous New York painters―Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.
