NEWS - Microsoft applies
pressure to current MCSEs
(17.03.00)
.
Microsoft has been accused of trying to pressure MCSEs into taking Windows 2000
examination 70-240 before they are ready, willing or indeed able. Microsoft has been
applying this pressure because many of its potential customers are not prepared to take
the plunge and adopt Windows 2000 too soon. The software giants believe that if those with
NT4.0 accreditation upgrade themselves to Windows 2000, they’ll pressurise companies
to roll-out Win2K earlier. Microsoft has made examination 70-240 free, but candidates are
only allowed one attempt. One failure means that not only do you need to retake all four
examinations but you also need to pay for them. Because of these stringent rules
candidates are more likely to thoroughly prepare for the examinations therefore passing
them and then finding a job where Windows 2000 skills are required.
