Utilization of the Operating System

My entrepreneurial idea focuses on making it easier for students to find textbooks on campus! Students will have the ability to easily locate textbooks they want, and sell their own textbooks to other students on the internet. They will do this through a website which will facilitate the transactions.

                The website will have to be accessible across several platforms, but mainly: the various Windows versions, Mac OS X, UNIX, and Linux. This will be useful as it will enable everyone to be able to launch the website from different operating systems. My developers will have to severely test the website in the above mentioned platforms to ensure smooth operation, and swift correction in case of any malfunctions.

                Since the entrepreneurial idea will first operate as a start- up, I foresee the need to incorporate the use of Windows Server 2008. This is because of the new capabilities it offers, for example: enhanced server security; protection against malicious software attacks, and client support using Windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and Linux. Windows Server 2008 Standard will be ideal in the beginning stages of the business, due to the small volume of transactions.
