Gen Y Workers Reinventing IT for the Better
buzzardsbay writes "We all know the complaints about young employees. They depend too much on their parents' money, they need constant hand-holding, they have no job loyalty, they demand more than they're worth, they disrespect older employees, and they're naive about corporate culture. But despite this conventional wisdom, there's growing evidence that the different working styles of Gen Y workers might be causing fundamental — and beneficial — changes in the way enterprises run, especially when it comes to IT. For example, they may show better judgment when making tech purchases and are often better with green IT initiatives. This is a nice counterpoint to a previous story (and resulting incendiary comments) that dubbed young tech workers a risk to corporate networks."

Vista + SP1: If you put whipped cream on a turd, it's still a turd.
Do you use vista? used vista SP1?
I've used vista for about 8 months now, on my primary pc, which I watch video on, web, IRC,encode video, play games, and use as my primary work pc... which I generally run 4+ VMs at the same time. I have 90% of the time LOVED vista, that's right loved! the other 10% of the time I was unhappy with file management, EX: file copy/move/browse/cancel. I installed SP1 on Tuesday, and all of my issues are fixed. They also fixed / improved many things that were not an issue for me. My machine plays every game I've tried to play on it, and I've tested it a bit. It has crashed maybe twice, both times I did something bad and it should have crashed. I can run 6 VM full screen machines on this pc, and every VM and the main OS VISTA, has been very responsive, and I can do other CPU intensive things at the same time. Part of that is the Q6600 + 4GB ram... but part of it is an underlying OS that can handle all those requests and run smoothly.
I'm sick of people putting M$ down because they have their own agendas. Sure their products have bugs / issues / security holes, but so does any other respectable OS. The more people use a certain OS, the more script kiddies are going to try and attack it and find obscure bugs and exploit them. Is MS entirely original? Not on a regular basis, but being a programmer myself, while creating 100% original code can be the best way to create a program, sometimes you need to know when to re-use someone else's ideas / code snippets.
Have I loved all their products? NO. Do I condemn things before I try them? Not when it comes to software.
