Oh yeah ....my college runs win2k and xp now ;) yay, all our teachers (it dep) are MCSE certified and the only helpy you do get from them is this: 1: have you install the latest patches and/or service pack ? 2: Well you have to reinstall windows for that to work!
I have told them that MCSE stands for Must Consult with Someone Else, both teachers got offended. Oh and they think linux Is evil and they assured me all root dns servers run windowsNT and that apache was really designed and optimised for NT. At that point both me and a colleague reminded them that Linux is running on the university DNS servers, mail servers and web servers. Imediately we got forcefully removed from the room and charged with class disruption.

My son had to get a laptop for school, loaded with windows98 and a bunch of software for his school and configured for the school network. Windows 98 crashed so much (several times a day) that he installed XP pro. Works like a charm. No crashes. This is the first OS from MS he has used that hasn't crashed repeatedly. However, he couldn't get XP configured to work with the school network properly. So, he went to the computer help desk at his school and asked them for help to configure his laptop for the network. Their answer: Reinstall windows98. They couldn't offer any other solution. So, even if MS makes a decent OS, the MS support people, trained in nothing in particular, are so useless that simple problems can't get fixed without reinstalling. Of course, nothing in this post detracts from the fact that MS will take over the world, sooner or later, because idiots outnumber intelligent people at least 10:1. Guess which market MS aims at? (Of course, this assumes that XP pro CAN be configured to talk to his school network. It worked fine on my home network.) Joel
