My first experience with operating a PC was when I turned 16 and was ready to enter university -- still the DOS era. I never knew there was such thing as a graphical user interface (gui) not until I came to Japan and I met Windows 98. It had no stunning effect on me. I also met SunOS (Solaris) and Macintosh (I didn't really care how they called their OS back then) during that time. Coming from a command line interface (cli) background, it was a daunting task to learn how to navigate the Windows desktop. Then I met Linux and everything changed! I had the power of the command line (by starting a terminal) again. The first distribution that I poked my fingers with was Red Hat. It was a very nice experience. Then I met FreeBSD and started customizing my kernels... until I got hired and I'm back facing Windows.
Our company is a Microsoft Certified Partner. We receive support for anything. Remember the dialog thing of the project I am working on? Well, I threw the problem to someone named Noda from MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network). I am still waiting for an answer. Who else can lead and show the innards of a house except it's owner? With this persistent problem, it'll take the guts out of those guys building something relatively stubborn and messy.
