Many of the questions might sound easy, but even I missed a few I probably shouldn't have. It's a 127 questions in all of various categories, I just did a few questions at a time throughout the day.

I scored 91%!
Oddly, I missed more questions about Windows than I did Linux. I would like to note the perfect score on programming AND hardware, thereby debunking that old myth.

And its an e-mail client -.-.

Quote: "Correct! 100TB or 100 Terabytes would have much more capacity than 100KB, 100MB and 100GB.

Of the 22,726 people who have answered this quiz question 15,718 have answered it correctly and 7,008 have answered it incorrectly. Based off these results this question has been given a difficulty level of medium."

How can 7k people not know that?

Mine: 74%

I dunno, I thought it was obvious as the guy's face is pictured with most news articles about Microsoft.

Some of the questions do not have correct answers.
I remember owning a laptop back in 2003, a vaio, with 32MB of ram, and it ran Windows XP perfectly well.
Anyways, I got 89%.

Edit: Duh. I had 32 MB video memory, not ram. Please disregard.

Windows 2000 runs good on 128

I used Win2k up until 3 years because it ran faster. But in the end, XP proved more stable so I switched. (not to mention MS purposely making things not run in 2k)

Windows 2000 was the best OS. Too bad none of the new technologies were supported, (like .net)
