MCSE

So I am about to sit my XP exam as I am on the rocky road to MCSE. However other than being able to say I am an MCSE (when i get through them all) what else do I get? a bumper sticker?

Yeah, a huge on that says "F%$* Linux"

to say I am an MCSE

That's the main idea yes, and a certificate, label pin, and wallet card to prove it. MCSEs used top get a year TechNet, but that feels like ancient history already. I do think you can get a discount.

Hell no. I called them about that a couple of weeks ago and was told it was a promotion around a year ago and they no longer offer it. Needless to say, I was pissed.

Microsoft has decided to let the 2003 track be the last MCSE certification they offer. For Windows Server 2008, along with a lot of other new releases, it's called MCITP. The MCSE is still very sought-after and highly respected, so don't discount it just yet. It'll be a while before the 2008 technologies really catch on.
