It's becoming a goldrush just like the CNE was a few years ago. Microsoft is raising the bar with the new MCSE+Internet certification and when they move over to the adaptive testing format with simulation type questions, the failure rate will go through the roof to weed out all of the Transcender and Exam Cram clowns. Do you have any idea what the failure rate is already for MCP exams? It's actually quite high. So is the dropout rate. Let's not forget also that failing an exam is $100 lost. I love it when I hear a group of 'techies' talking about Microsoft certification. Everyone once in a while I will hear "I'm gonna do the MCSE". Christ - they make it sound like it's a damned dance move...
