If you take that attitude, you wont get far in IT.

True, but there is no need to slate him just because he's on a uni course and doesn't know about windows vista.

 

[lemonkettaz]

i wasnt slating him.

i was making a joke of the matter =)

heck, any Uni CS course worth its salt will avoid M$ altogether and have you working on UNIX using Open development tools
However I thought that spending your lunch hour browsing /. was mandatory in CS!

Yes, as a computer science student you really really should try to follow tech news + pick up some experience. The problem with all computer science courses are the lack of practical experience given. Take a year in industry too, that will help you bucket-loads.

Hehe yeah its very much like that here. Most the lecturers seem pretty anti-m$ as well.

Hahaha, like Slashdot is the most balanced tech site on earth. What's the point in doing nothing involving Windows at all, it's not like it's going to go away.

Edit: M$$$$$

Never thought I'd see someone posting on an internet forum saying they'll wait until tomorrow to browse some sites, though
