That is really very good. 
I don't know if you follow cricket but India has been beaten rather convincingly by England.
Well done to England!

I think it was bit more than rather convincingly. 
But you will get your own back next year, no doubt.

India capitulated. The batting was terrible to say the least. No fight offered at all.

So unlike the India we know and love (the country of my birth).

Just found this quote from Bill Gates in 1999:
"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning."
(http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bill_Gates[^])
Does that mean Microsoft is learning lots with Win8?

Exactly! I agree.
Bill Gates is the technology advisor of Microsoft right now, and he knows how to learn and move forward!

No! It means that even Bill Gates does not take Bill Gates seriously...

Probably. Never in its history has Microsoft been doing so much backpedalling as they've been doing over the past few years.

yeah - it turns out the last "l" was a typo.

Ouch!
And regrettably, too true...

If they'd learned anything from this, there would have been no need for Windows 2000, nor anything since.

i have been around programming a little while and i think its a little bit too hard for me! and sometimes extremely boring.
i have no networking background so, i thought it would be a good idea to ask people who've been into both programming and networking. basically i just wanna know which field is harder to get on with and master ?

You also asked this question on Yahoo Answers, so there's a 90% chance that you're either:
0) a total noob in every sense of the word, or
1) a bad troll that goes for easy targets and still fails
Because those are their key demographics.

Both can be very challenging, but programming is potentially more difficult. Still, being really good at configuring and protecting networks can be every bit as difficult. Of the two, being a mediocre programmer is somewhat harder than being a mediocre networking guru. Both, however, require better typing skills than you appear to possess.

After you remove all of the specifics related to each field, they both are careers fundamentally focused around problem-solving.
Networking can be simple, it depends on the size of networks that you deal with, the number of nodes, types of physical transports, routing and security protocols.
Programming, what part do you find difficult?
Programming is a much broader subject, however, you don't need to know all of it. Just focus on the set of skills required for your job.
Don't aim towards mastering either of these fields, because there is too much to learn to ever master them. However, both fields are so broad that if you find yourself bored in one sector, give a different aspect of the field a try.
To actually give you an answer to your question, I think networking may be more difficult to get going at first, because there is quite a bit of up front knowledge that you need to perform fundamental tasks. Once you have entered and practiced a bit, you'll start to rely more on your trouble-shooting skills to find and fix problems.
Programming is probably easier to enter. With as much sample code that exists on the Internet it's not difficult for many to fake it and get a program to appear to work, and yet not know why. To become a good programmer you're still going to develop some strong problem-solving/trouble-shooting skills to succeed.
Above all, look for something that you enjoy. You're less likely to succeed if you don't enjoy what you do.

Nothing is easy untill you are having knowledge about it. Networking, once you get enough knowledge will be easy for you too.
