This month’s quiz challenges you to separate fact from fiction about important technical issues. See how well you understand the broad, important concepts in the IT world.
Former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, invented the Internet in:
1986, at a conference in Geneva
1989, in a meeting at the Pentagon
1994, in a dream after eating bad fish
1998, in a political speech
Systems administrators rushed to migrate to Office 2000 because:
It offered so many new and different features when compared with Office 97.
It was smaller and more efficient than Office 97.
The fact that users could publish documents directly to the company Web site was extremely attractive to administrators.
Administrators preferred using their budgets for yearly upgrades that maintain Microsoft’s revenue stream, rather than spending money on new hardware.
To keep administrators from losing their minds, Microsoft provides which of the following:
Complete and accurate documentation of the registry.
Free technical support for MCSEs.
Software that runs on Linux, UNIX, and Macintosh boxes.
Which of the following statements about Windows 2000 is correct?
The built-in Terminal Services is remarkably better than the Terminal Server for Windows NT 4.0.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is better and easier to use than the static versions of DNS that Microsoft included in previous versions of the OS.
Win2K Professional can, and should be, implemented in NT enterprises.
Win2K offers improved scalability and availability.
Answers:
D, perhaps C also.
Yeah, right. The migration rate was dismal (credit the reasons implied in the questions).
In your dreams!
All choices are correct (OK, all choices are also an editorial opinion, but you’ll find few administrators who would disagree). I thought I’d throw in a positive note, just to prove I’m not always a sarcastic, cranky complainer.
APRIL FOOL !
