That's one line of reasoning. Given the tales of woe I've been hearing
from sysadmins all over the world, though, anyone with half a clue
tries to move to unix adminning as soon as humanly possible. You've
certainly got the necessary clues, so I expect you'll be doing Unix
instead of MS in at most 10 years.
The big problem with MS certs, as told to me, is that they want you to
learn to do things the MS way. Which usually differs subtly but
significantly from what's in the RFCs.

In that case, their legal department is jnust weird.

That helps. A lot.

No, it's crap times 1.09, which means .09 * crap extra to spend ;)

Aha.
So, when you buy that house, will you install an AGA?
