      Some systems, specifically stuff with embedded controls, will continue to run XP or older for some time. A great example is a CNC station, or an MRI station. In 2011, I was working with a client that had CNC stations still running '98.

      Sure, but are A+ cert newbies going to be supporting those? Not likely.

      A+ newbies are the cheapest hires, usually, and a company that's still employing an XP based system is most likely to hire the least experienced, cheapest people possible.

        Perhaps. But not for that role. Nothing in the A+ will prepare you for a CNC machine for example.

          As much as I enjoy teaching percussion kid, his arm injury allows me to go home early 🙂

            I'm setting up a Juniper SRX340 pair for HA. These things are way easier than Cisco, but they have terribad documentation on the public net.

                That's absolutely true. Similarly, none of the CompTIA courses cover HIPAA requirements.

                    Because hipaa doesn't have any true standards. It's all best effort.

                      About to relive the "joy" of trying to get a management tool (in this case Hyper-V manager) to connect to my lab hyper-v server with neither the client or server being domain joined.

                        Just upgraded my work pc to Office 2016 from 2010. Outlook wont open, downloading my 3rd batch of office-updates-that-require-restarts from Windows Update. Started the upgrade process over an hour ago, still cant use Outlook.

                        You're not missing much. Once again, it's got a new coat of paint and they've moved some furniture.

                                    "The good news is that the groundwork is set to switch Qubes to PVH in the future when the Linux kernel adds the needed support, and even to replace Xen entirely with something else, if a better alternative comes along,"

                                    Uh then whats the point of Qubes. KVM is already available on everything.

                                          "I will say that it opened my eyes when other people I worked with really struggled to pass the test. Some people had to cross train because they failed it 3 times. I even tried helping them study and they still couldn't pass the A+ exam. "

                                          😞 I had to be A+ certified for CARF Accredidation and I took both tests within two hours of each other and passed. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box either so that goes to show you how worthless the exams really are.

                                            I have a terrible time taking tests. And I passed the A+ on the first try after studying for like 24 hours 😛
