Microsoft Certified Professionals Worldwide
Numbers were recently updated:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certified.mspx I was a little surprised how few MCSEs on Server 2003 there are. Also, if demand for certified pros is any indication, Vista must be more popular than I thought.

Looking through that list I'm surprised by the number of "new" certs that exist and especially those that have so few people completed them:
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) Microsoft Office Groove 2007: Configuration 35 Microsoft Office Project Server 2007: Configuration 15 Microsoft Office Visio 2007: Application Development 31 Microsoft Virtual Earth 6.0: Developing Applications 18 I didn't even know there were certs for these?! It's the journey that matters, not the destination. Aims: 70-271: Dec 2007 PASSED! 70-272: March 2008 PASSED! ITIL v3 Foundation: June 2008 PASSED! in July  Net+: July 2008 70-270: Nov 2008

I wonder what the pass/fail rate is for the architect program at 25 grand a shot.
"The tuition for enrolling in and attending a Microsoft Certified Architect Technology training program is US$25,000 per individual." http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mc...o/default.mspx (13 + 38 + 61 + 73) * $25,000 = $4,625,000  Crito Philippatos MCSE and MCSA on Windows Server 2003, MCTS on SQL Server 2005, MCDBA on SQL Server 2000, A+, Network+, Linux+, Security+, CEH

You think you guys have got it bad, for the rest of the world you pay M$ bundles of cash and hope one day they come visit in two years time...
I'm trying hard not to be cynical, but its very hard to view this as anything but a cash cow, no training offered and bundles of $$$ for an interview that may never happen... Theres also talks of discounts, so its likey that many of thoose certified did no pay the asking price including of course M$ staff.

I certainly won't be forking over 25 grand of my money any time soon. But I do get lots of freebies from MS so I can't biatch about them too much.
