MS to bulk-certify the Chinese is total !@#$
|
|
|
| I am also very disappointed to see MSFT go through with
this...
First off, I feel like it devalues my certifications
because this one plan will double the number of certified
people worldwide. Secondly - They will make it very
attractive for large companies to out-source ... meaning
less jobs for Americian professions.
So ... pay your money to msft for a certification, throw
the certificate in the trash, and then go stand in line
for welfare - because only the top cut of developers will
have jobs.

| Its frustrating, how can a company like Microsoft do this? I think
this is a part of thier marketing strategy. More professional, more
promotion of thier products. That is why, MS is promoting its tests in
the countries having large popultation such as China and India. Its
certainly bad to promote products like this.
