Cisco vs. Microsoft

bipkary

Hi all ,
Which company's hardware is dominating in "Networking" world?
Cisco OR Microsift??

Bottom line is ... I would like to stay in Networking field, not Software.
So which Certifications would be better to get a decent job --

Cisco certifications OR Microsoft certifications ????

Any advice?
Thanx

I am not trying to flame you or anything, but it makes me mad to know I would be overlooked for basicially any job I might actually be interested in because I don't have a 4 year degree, only to see people with a 4 year degree in the field ask questions like this one.

In general, Cisco makes routers (network gear) and MS makes client and server operating systems. Although it is possible, MS products are generally not used to route network traffic.

i agree with milliamp. but it depends on u. well if u see the top 10 certification s then u will find cci on top and then mcse and then at no 5 u will find ccnp and there is no ccna. but purely if u want to go to network field then u have to go for cisco and if u want to go to somthing like management of pcs then u have to go for mcse.

i m going to do both of them coz it will give me good opportunities in the industry. They both are the sides of coin and if u know both of them u can get good jobs and after that if u upgrade your knowledge with ccnp then u will be a master.
