Adding Security to the Cert

Shiftless third-party prep courses have made MCSE certification less valuable. Is Microsoft's new security cert doomed to the same fate?

Sadly it is because people like you "don't get it".

You see as the "expert" mechanic, I will go beyond my duty of just fixing your car, I am going to educate you as well:

1. The word is "niche" not nitch
2. M-Class is a Mercedes Benz SUV not an M-5 which is a BMW 4 door sedan.
3. M-5 BMW's are strictly rear wheel drive only. Not four wheel drive at all.

See? Look how generous I am in helping you out.

We experts always take pity on the less fortunate who "don't get it".

Hope that helps.
