The issue of certifications:

Being an IT professional, I had to get through Microsoft certification.

One thing which upsets me about them is that to pass the tests, you have to give the "party line" answer, not the one you know (have actually verified) to be true.

In many cases they are the same, but there are exceptions, most notably regarding features which DO NOT work, or do not behave the way Microsoft claims that they do.

Rings any bells, people?
