Microsoft Vs xxxxxx - latest news (May 07)

Hi, all,

Just wanted to share this will all of you:

"Microsoft has reached a settlement with ****, the world’s largest braindump distributor, to immediately cease illegal use of Microsoft Certification exam content. ....Braindump companies provide a “shortcut” to IT certifications by helping people with limited product knowledge and expertise pass IT exams. Ultimately, this devalues the achievements of the many individuals who legitimately passed exams thanks to in-depth study and hands-on technology experience. ....Under the terms of this settlement, **** has agreed to immediately cease marketing, selling, distributing, publishing, reproducing, disseminating, offering or otherwise knowingly transferring in any way any actual Microsoft Certification Exams content. " - trika (MS)

This spells good news for us that work hard for the certs & qual's.

just for addition,

why there are braindumps

IMO - i will 95% not defending a braindump and all its derivatives (the sites, products and the users) - like what has happened now - bad image for the certification programs.

the 5% is share as : supply and demand thing :
1. the company HR (which 75% of them knows nothing about IT certification) who wants to hire a helpdesk with higher requirements (such as MCSE, RHCE, CCNP etc) but low wages.

2. so the braindumps see it as opportunity to make easy money.

3. the people who wants to get easy certification - get easy job.

i feel sorry for them...

recently - it get worst and worst.

a certified person knows nothing about the job - get better deal, doing written exam with no surveillance, etc. that makes the certification programs needs to be defend.

many people who honestly get their certification(s), spent lots of time, efforts and money for study - frustrated by this.

ps :
for the recruiters out there,
please respect the certification program and the honestly certified people

just my opinion - no offense.

cheers.

MS are planning their own service if memory serves. Kinda why they started the whole legal attack. Not that I am cynical or anything.
