Ayan Qureshi becomes world's youngest qualified computer specialist | Daily Mail Online

It was "Supporting Windows 8.1"

No, he would have gone into the exam room on his own. I guess the dad coached him.

"When the boy arrived to take the Microsoft exam, the invigilators were concerned that he was too young to be a candidate.

His father reassured them that Ayan would be all right on his own."

Well, he is probably more capable than Dim Prawn.

And probably has a more professional manner.

I feel sorry for the poor chap. He's clearly very bright and talented, yet due to poor advice he received on how best to direct his abilities when he was only four-and-a-half years old and too young to judge, he'll be tainted by this association with Microsoft products until he's six or even seven years old

I managed to fail a microsoft exam

I walked out of one when the exam software keeled over and it was going to take half an hour to recover it.

Does that count?

Ah the Play School connection.

"A House… with a door

Windows… one, two, three, four,

Ready to play?

What's the day?

Today we go through the round window."

So now it is confirmed - Microsoft exams are so easy that even a five-year-old can pass them
