Comment Re: Where's Vista? (Score 1) 184

I bought an hp laptop with vista that after the first week or so it updated and for some reason kept updating/rebooting (gracefully) in a continuous loop. I let it run overnight and when i checked it next morning it still kept updating/rebooting. Vista sucked!

Comment Migrated to Debian10 (Score 2) 83

Well it was a âoefriendly farewellâ from centos 7/8 to debian 10. My small network of production servers dont do anything crazy/advanced/sophisticated so a stable linux distro is all ive ever wanted/needed. Anything that needs support/subscription/cost is used on the software installed on the servers. Was a centos user since 5 too. Cant rely on IBM keeping their OSâ(TM)es free without headaches or concerns

How many recent highschool grads are you going to hire for a critical IT role regardless? I'd rather have something I could put on my resume to get my foot in the door. May even help get a part time "helpdesk" job while going to college. As long as they know this doesn't guarantee "guru" status, I don't see how this hurts them...

The industry will value an MCSE over a Austrialian educational "certificate of completion" any day.... Is MSFT also investing in trying to get people to keep using their products? Sure.... The whole industry does and has been doing this.... Cisco is doing it. I remember back in the 80's Apple had a program where you gave your school your grocery receipts and they would "donate" equipment based on how much in receipts were collected. I believe IBM did this as well... Students will either stick with MSFT or their IT passion will take them to other ventures regardless...
