Although I'm late to the party in reviewing Windows Vista SP1, it's becoming widely available as I write this, so now is as good a time as any for my review. Rather than try to cover every improvement in SP1, I'm going to cover my particular experiences. Read my review.
Via Slashdot, an Arkansas private school lost their Systems Administrator, so an 11-year old student took over the job.
When Victory Baptist School, a small private school in Sherwood, Ark., was struggling to keep its computer network together last year, an 11-year-old student named Jon Penn stepped in as network manager. Penn did it to help his mother, Paula, the school librarian who had computer support added to her workload a week before the school year started when the existing IT systems overseer suddenly departed. For Jon — who says his favorite reading material is computer trade magazines — it’s been the experience of a lifetime, even getting to select and install a gateway security appliance largely by himself.
Being a Systems Administrator by trade, this is one of the most awesome things ever. The kid deserves all the credit for having the moxy to take on the job, and to do it well. Now, when I complain about my job being tough, people can tell me, "An 11-year old can do your job, so quit complaining or go get a paper route!" Nicely done, young man.
