Useful Windows Tools

I was searching Magical Jelly Bean program which help to recover lost product keys for Microsoft Windows and Office. Then I encounter this website called Kez News. Inside this website contain lots of other useful utilities for IT administrator. One of them is the activator program which ease IT administrator from going to Microsoft Activation procedures which could be troublesome.

They also posted the latest information on security issues and offer solution to it. Latest programs which could help you do better as well. However bad thing about this website is pornography advertisement. Be warned kids under 18 years old. You might want to consult your parent regarding this.

There is a forum which you might want to know the pros and cons of certain utilities posted at Kez News and you might want to read it before wasting your time trying it out. No doubt it more a dark side type of website which teaches you a lot of piracy stuff. However it is all part of education. If you don't know the bad things, how would you find out the goods one.

Misconception on Linux

Linux is hard to learn. Well rethink again. When you are born into this world, is it hard for you to learn how to walk, jump and run? No doubt everybody is born to be empty. What make you who you are today is what you willing to learn, endure and change. If you think learning Linux is hard then it will be forever hard. If you follow through the development of Linux when it first launch, you will be suprised how easy it is now to learn Linux compare to 90's era. Where no Graphic User Interface (GUI) available for Linux, you need to type and type and forever typing.

Same goes to Windows. Early Windows 3.1 is based on MS DOS. You need to type a lot of things to install MS DOS into the computer then only you start to install Windows. Isn't that difficult?

Now Linux come with a nice Gnome or KDE interface, you just need to learn how to use the mouse to point and click. You cannot expect Linux to run things like Windows. Just like asking cow to climb trees like monkey. Both of them is different thing but still able to get the same result. You play video and music in Windows Media Player, you should not expect Windows Media Player available in Linux. In Linux a program call Totem which do the same thing like Windows Media Player.

Linux is based on UNIX system. It is the well known system in the world. Father of all operating system. If you compare Linux with Windows, Linux stability is far superior than Windows. No doubt Windows have improve dramatically over the years but Linux use less resources and maintain multi-user environment at all time. Try the new Windows Vista with 512MB memory, you will feel the pain of lagness. Try that again on Linux and you will be suprise how smooth it is. Why Linux able to support old system and perform normally and Windows could not?

When comes to customisation, Windows only offer the API and you are bound to that. Linux is open source, opportunities is limitless where think out of the box happen easily. Won't you want to be free?

A lot of FREE softwares available to Linux compare with Windows. Abundant is better than you have no choice. Take a look at http://www.sourceforge.net and you will find a lot of Linux free software lying around asking you to try them. Why can't Windows developer do the same? Isn't giving free things in life make you wonderful?

Linux come in original full form package. You have no restriction to add more things to it or minus things off it. Take a look at Windows, it comes in many edition like Home, Professional, Business, Ultimate and many more. Windows Home edition have less features compare with Professional edition. This definitely won't happen in Linux. Linux can be upgrade and downgrade whenever you want. That's what I call freedom. Can you do that in Windows?

Final words, Linux is free and capable to do more than Windows.

Microsoft Certified System Engineer versus Experience

When comes to System Administrator position, many companies prefer someone with MCSE compare with someone who do not have. One thing the companies fail to understand that a good candidate is the one who do not have MCSE however able to be independent enough to keep learning by himself through various sources and able to maintain the companies IT infrastructure without problem for years. This candidate could be much better than MCSE level. They are learning the latest technology due to their own endeavour. MCSE course syllabus are fixed and they are putting them to think like a box.

People with exposure and experience but without MCSE are able to do much better because they can use various technology combine together to give you the best solution. That is what I call think out of the box. Furthermore, MCSE course teach people the right ways to do things therefore those candidate with MCSE do not know what are the reasons behind the right ways. Take a non-MCSE candidate, they would do the trial and error method to get things done. No doubt it is time consuming however they know every corners of the system. This allow them to design their own effective ways to do things. Sometime better than those taught in MCSE courses.

Would you prefer someone to build they own road compare with someone who walks a pre-built road all the time. The choice is yours.
