MICROSOFT TRAINING = SUCCESS?
Lutz Ziob, the general manager of Microsoft Learning, answered some questions recently on the need for Windows Server 2008 training and certification. In the interview, Ziob compares IT professionals today (unsung heroes) to “the men and women who designed and built the physical infrastructure that fueled” much of this era’s social and economic progress. Some the other quotes of note include:
“The more knowledge you have of our software, the better equipped you are to exploit its full capabilities.”
“Since 2006, we’ve seen the number of Microsoft Certified Professionals grow by almost 30 percent.”
“…in the coming months we will launch a new testing experience based on the Windows Server Hypervisor technology.”
“We’ve been moving toward the practical, scenario-based testing model since 2005, but Virtualization will allow us to do some great new things. I think it will revolutionize the testing experience because the real world scenarios and tasks will basically become the test.”
Check out the interview at Microsoft’s site; it’s well-worth a read.
