Certification is for the vendor's benefit, mainly, not yours.
Microsoft (or Novell, or whomever) gets an additional workforce out
there, folks who (a) are sure to have at least read the docs and
worked with the products - a leg up on where most customers will be,
and (b) because of the time and expense spent getting certified, will
be likely to recommend Microsoft products when they are asked.

Doesn't make it a _bad_ idea to get certified, you just gotta
understand the motivations.
