It is people like you that just piss me off. You deserve to get your but kicked. To add to what others have already said in response(much more eloquently than me): The reason why Microsoft products have no place in the University is because Microsoft products are designed for 'stupid' people, not people with a college education. Anyone with a college education in operating systems, or software in general knows that Microsoft is the example of NOT how do do things. How are you supposed to learn how an operating system works, if you can't see the code? "Microsoft Programming", is the WORST PROGRAMMING you could learn: Programming without knowing how things really work!! Yeah, sure, Visual Basic/C++ is the model of programming?!@#; just point click and drop in inefficient code without thinking about it, without knowing what really is going on. How can a honorable university promote programming like that? "Thinking" is the reason you are at a university. Learning "Microsoft" would just make for more dumb programmers writing more programs that crash or have memory leaks all over the place. Besides, even if we could see the source to windows, the only educational value it would provide is what NOT TO DO!! UCK!! You know what, I can't even discuss this anymore. You discust me! To all who have responded to this before me, and shoved this guy's words in his face: here here!
