We were once hiring programmers for a small consulting firm. We asked the prospective employees if the knew how to program for Windows, VB, etc... They almost all answered 'yes', when we asked them to write a sample program the couldn't, so we asked them to describe how the would program something for windows... Their answer: 'You put the CD in the drive and run the setup.exe' They all thought that programming meant 'installing' software... Needless to say we ended up not hiring anyone.
