7 OS? 107 Languages?
The reporter needs to get a check on reality.
And for all that Mr Bangalorean has posted, he couldn't be more right.
Anyone here working on any git project? (Just curious)

After the late Arfa Karim raised the nation's pride by becoming the world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional, another Pakistani wonder child has made history after creating seven Microsoft and Google certified computer operating systems in a suburb of Abbottabad.
This sentence is an insult to Arfa Karim. There's absolutely no comparison...

Kind of weird.
Pakistan mourns young genius Arfa Karim's demise.

LAHORE: In what could simply be described as an enormous loss for Pakistan, Arfa Karim, the world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), Saturday night, lost the battle of life after remaining admitted here at Combined Military Hospital for 26 days, our sources reported.

Arfa Karim was only sixteen years old.

Her funeral prayers will be offered on Sunday at 10 AM in Cantt area.

Arfa Karim remained in intensive care at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) after suffering an epileptic seizure and cardiac arrest a few weeks ago. After battling for life for 26 days, one of Pakistan's brightest brains left this world for good.

Arfa's father Colonel (Retd) Amjad Karim Randhawa, while takling to our sources, said that, she had gone nowhere; she was still alive for her cause was alive. Going forward, Col Randhawa vowed to materialize her dreams.

To a question, he said that Arfa got the best of the medical treatments available, adding he was satisfied with it.

Born in 1995, Arfa Karim got the honor of World's Youngest Microsoft Certified Professional when she was only 9 years old in 2004. Bill Gates, the Chairman of Microsoft, invited Arfa to visit the Microsoft Headquarters in the USA in the age of 10 only.

Later, in August 2005, Arfa was also honored by the Pakistan Government for the Fatima Jinnah Gold Medal in the field of Science and Technology which she received from then Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. She was also honored with Salaam Pakistan Youth Award in 2005 which has been set up by Pakistan's only Nobel laureate Dr Abdul Salam. Moreover, Arfa has won the Presidential Award for Pride of Performance.

Arfa represented her country Pakistan on a variety of international fora. She was also included as the honorable guest by IT Professionals of Dubai for two weeks stay in Dubai. During that trip, Arfa was awarded by a number of medals and awards from various tech societies and computer companies working in Dubai.

Amazingly, she was certified for flying a plane at a flying club in Dubai at the age of 10.

Arfa also participated in Microsoft keynote session in the Tech-Ed Developers Conference held in Barcelona, in 2006. The theme of the conference was "Get ahead of the game" and Arfa was in fact a great example of being ahead of the game.

Just to make it clear, the person you are referring to, and the person mentioned in the OP's article are totally different people. The person you are referring to was indeed a Microsoft certified expert, and a clever girl. On the other hand, the person this thread is referring to, is making ludicrous claims which are not humanly feasible.

These two are completely unrelated. This thread speaks about:

ABBOTTABAD: After the late Arfa Karim raised the nation's pride by becoming the world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional, another Pakistani wonder child has made history after creating seven Microsoft and Google certified computer operating systems in a suburb of Abbottabad.

The 14-year-old student, Sikandar Mehmood Baloch, lives in Bilal Town in Abbottabad.
These ludicrous claims are being made with reference to Sikandar Mehmood Baloch, and NOT Arfa Karim.

Arfa Karim was a genuine Microsoft-certified professional, sad that she died early.

RIP.

These poor young professionals burn themselves out young!

Must learn the importance of Resting in between spurts of energy.

Or else, one gets permanent rest.

I am speaking in a very philosophical manner and so don't get me wrong.

In the Army, we keep standing most of the time. We are taught that even if we get a moment's rest, we should lie down so as to take the strain of the spine.

I know of chaps sleeping even as they are moving on a forced march.

When we were at the Commando Course, and we had a break, we sat down on the circular wall of a huge lined well.

We marched off and during the count we found that one chap was missing.

We had to go back to the last halt and there we found him.............still sitting on the wall of the well and sleeping. He was so good at sleeping in a rigid position that he did not fall inside the well while catnapping!

Learn to rest as you learn to work hard!
