I find it hard to believe that. in the UK kids start school at 4 years old, How can he learn about servers and computer science so quickly when people need to go through years of university to get to that stage to become a certified Microsoft computer specialist.

 

Oh and happy 7,500 posts. 1 to go

He should become CEO. I bet he'll do better than SB.

An interesting story.  It is not easy to pass a MS exam since Microsoft uses an adaptive approach to their exams and the nature of the test can change while it is in progress.  But children are more in tune with taking tests than many who are older and I hope this young man keeps up on his interest.

Don't fret Fr. Bill, I would bet we can both stay inside the lines with our crayons better than he can!

I want to read of him building one then landing it, . . . then I will be impressed and depressed.

Bet the 5 year old knows windows 8 needs a start button. Job security for the 5 year old. 95% of us would fail the exam.
