Subject: an email from a malaysian chinese from australia.
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 07:24:27 +0000

p/s: for topics like Micro$oft or Linux or Business I.T student. Well i am

okie with both Linux and Windows O.S. (we actually has a subject named
Operating System that make the student compare the few operating system
for
pro n cons.), not like i support or anti anyone of them.(i do hate MAC
though)
Hate is a very strong word, may I ask why? I don't think I can describe my own feelings towards windows as hate. Frustration is more appropriate :)
I have three machines I use regularly,
a FreeBSD server for open source stuff, it as also my firewall and dsl gateway
a Mac Powerbook with OS X for work, email
a windows 98 machine with a good graphics card for games - u can't play Homeworld 2 on Mac or FreeBSD

I like them all for what they do best

As for Business I.T student, i agreed with "Windows are turning Business
I.T
graduate into idiots", i have friends who's doing Business I.T and they
are
learning ASP.net and Oracle SQL programming, and they think those things
are
just a waste of time and won't help them much in the real world.Then
again,
none of us know what's the real world is gonna be like.
You are right....
I think the problem is Business IT is a "hmm, we can sell more business courses if we add an IT flavour to it" course. That is neither here nor there. Potentially it can be good if the course creators taught stuff which budding CTO's and CEO's can use to enhance their business....practical things like "how to save money and not be locked into proprietary vendor products" or "project management of IT projects" or "business cases for technology in <name your field>"...but they don't, why ? Earlier in your email you answered this question.

Cheers
