    According to: Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu):

    Absolutely no argument here. 8 years ago the problem was nit-wit Novell
    CNE's and senseless Sun consultants...still see plenty of those today. It
    is just that the numbers of MCSE's and the perceived/marketed meaning of
    that particular wallpaper is not representative of the consultants' ability.
    This has been true with most every common cert program that has come and
    gone in the 22 years that I have been doing this. If Sun was the top dog,
    we would all be railing on them instead of M$....

    I think that if M$ is going to make point and click consultants to go with a
    point and click server, they should make the security point and click too.
