I am curious to what you mean by the "cert game". Every thing I have read
about in the past says Vendors actually lose money directly on the cert
programs. Now, I will be the first to agree that they more than make up
for it in reduced support cost and name recognition as a result of
offering the certs. For example as a CCIE, I am more likely to purchase or
recommend Cisco and I "should" be able to better troubleshoot Cisco
products, reducing the amount of times I have to call support.
