Boy of 8 becomes Microsoft Certified Professional!

Marko Calasan

Either the knowledge and work required to become a Microsoft Certified Professional has seen a major revision to make it easier, or Marko Calasan is one intelligent little boy.
Last week Marko set a new record for the youngest person to ever attain the status of Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator. He hails from Skopje in Macedonia and now has a very proud mother.
Apparently he has always shown a flare for learning and computers; being able to read and write by age 2 and then showing a big interest in computers for the past 6 years. When asked what he’d like to do in later life Marko said:
"I’d like to be a computer scientist when I grow up and create a new operational system."
I’m sure Microsoft are hoping that he stays true to them and that new operating system is a version of Windows.
Just to put his achievement in perspective Marko could now go and look after a large company network running on the Windows operating system. I’m sure he may opt to keep his resume to himself for a few years and finish school, however.
