The reversal is a welcome acknowledgement to the installed base of Windows users that the MS juggernaut can go only so far in dictating what version of its OS companies will deploy -- and when. It remains to be seen what this back-pedaling means for the MCSE, though. Up until now, Microsoft claimed that NT decertification would enhance the value of the Win2k MCSE. If the opinions in the searchWin2000 discussions are any indication, many of you still share that view. As for me, I�m gratified to know that at least sometimes when MCSEs speak, their voices, er, their feet, can be heard, even as far away as Redmond.
