Depends on the hardware you're running it on, but yeah, I'd say NT is more
functional network-wise than 9x. The tcp/ip printing alone makes it more
valuable in my opinion, not to mention the increased stability. Not to say NT
doesn't crash or anything...

Well, I passed all 6 exams and got my MCSE and I took some classes at a place
that bought a NH franchise, yeah. I'd say the classes I had were moderately
useful in preparation for the exams and less useful in preparation for
actually being an NT administrator. No class can compare to real work
experience, and most of what you can actually get from most classes is just as
easily learned from a book.
Where this place made its mistake, and I think this may be a NH thing because
they didn't move towards this until they became a NH shop, is that they are
moving to full-time in-house trainers and away from contracting with local
MCSE/MCT's who want to teach nights and during time off. So what they're
ending up with is a lot of guys/gals who teach for a living but don't use the
products they teach in any sort of real-world production environment. The
best classes I had were valuable not because of the class material but because
of the real-world experience certain guru-level instructors were able to pass
along.
Certification classes can be valuable, but they can also be a waste of time.
My first Windows 2000 class was almost a waste of time since I knew more about
2000, having run it since Beta 1, than the instructor, who had just installed
Beta 3 from his instructor pack the week before the class (while I'd been
running the final release I got from MSDN for a month or so).
