I just can’t stop talking about our Icafe

September 17, 2005 | Author: Nerbie | Filed under: Mobilehive Internet Cafe

For those people who are not yet aware about the plight of computer shop owners are facing right now let me give a very short talk about it. A team was formed to crack down businesses( and icafe included) who uses pirated Microsoft Products and other BSA software like adobe, etc. This group gave a grace period of 30 days to allow businesses and Icafes to license their software especially Operating System and MsOffice last August and it ended yesterday. Most Icafe’s owners decided to close their shops for the past days though some of them took the risk and hoping those MIB or NBI don’t show up infront of thier shops. I did the same. Most big Internet shops here in our area were closed for the past days so our icafe were always full. Students are lining up. Feeling nervous though.

Linspire OS

Getting Licensed Operating System is part and should always be part of the Business investment but personally speaking I can only afford to get single license like for every 4 months. With the raiding situation I’ll be installing more Linspire OS (formerly Lindows). I already tested it on our two personal computers on our shop and its working okay minus the games. Basically, It will be for surfing, yahoo, msn, aol chatting, typying and music listening purpose. It’s better this way than risking the business besides my original business plan is not relying on the Icafe profits. Next task is to explore the gaming side of linspire and its possible to run some online games because I saw another company who specilized in runing windows games on linux or linspire environment.
