A virtualization skillset is one of the more sought-after traits in the marketplace today. Choose your OS and virtualization platform poison. There's a demand for it all.

Yep. This is my non-scientific method. Although not authoritative it provides a good snapshot of most popular qualifications.

From what I've seen, there isn't much demand for the cert. I believe it is because most companies tend to care about one or maybe two products covered by the MCITP: VA. Some companies need Hyper-V and SCVMM skills, some want RDS, and a few care about App-V, MED-V, and the rest. The only recruiters I've been in touch with who cared about this cert were filling positions at Microsoft.

If you want a virtualization cert, VCP will give you much better bang for the buck.
