I'm surprised you can spell COMPREHENSION
You certainly don't practice it. You practice Obfuscation, something the M$ world is fond of.
Let's ask 1000 people: If a person starts off a post with, "If all the posters to this thread are so smart...", is it a put down? Wanna bet some of your salary on the result?
"I merely stated that on the Linux/UNIX side of the fence you have SEVERE LIMITS in what certifications are available, and due to the fractured base of technologies" I'm limited only by my own choices, not the confused and hostile views of a Microsoftie. And "Fractured" is another of your snooty, self-superior comments, as well as being untrue. Linux is not M$ and comparisons which pretend it is are deliberately structured by people unable to recognize the value of the other side. (NO, I don't like M$ and I'm glad to be doing what I am doing. But that doesn't mean I can't recognize that the business world likes their security blanket.)
Ok, I did the MCSE back in 2002, when the questions were like, "Given Win2000 and programs A, B, and C, how much memory does your computer need? Rote memorization, and I'll be damned if I can figure out why 2 megabytes is a better answer than 1.5 megabytes. MAYBE M$ saw what Cisco was doing and copied it. Copying IS what M$ is best at.
"I hate to break your bubble". Don't flatter yourself, dude. You are just another opinionated twit out to prove how much he knows. I ***NEVER*** said anything about XP having anything to do with Win2000 Server. Reread you part about Comprehension and tell me how you missed that. What I was getting at is that operating systems in a series or cousins have a tendency to do things in a certain way. That doesn't mean knowing Win2000 makes you an XP expert, but it is better than knowing nothing. And the results are better in the Unix/Linux market, where the distributions are not deliberately obfuscated to pretend you are getting something new and different for your money. (And before you whine that I'm wrong, check the threads on Vista complaints, where people are unhappy because functionality was changed for no reason other than to just be different.)
"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". A statement which describes you exactly.
Look, I haven't got the time or concern to continue responding to your whine. You had a bad spot in your life and you overcame it. Unfortunately, having had a bad spot, you now think that everyone who doesn't do it your way is doing it wrong. The world is full of people who have different challenges than you did. You only have a hammer and every problem looks like a nail to you. When are you going to get over it and live your life instead of whining about how hard you had it and how anyone can get out the same way you did?
