===============================================
Greed is one of deadly sins.
TestKing must be the 100% greed.
NLI, NMC, IPexpert, etc. may be the 50% greed.
Cisco surely be the 20% greed.
===============================================
Why can I say that?
Cisco generated a certification like CCIE JUST for itself's products, not for BAY that made the first switch, not for 3com, not for INTERNET. So a CCIE is just a watcher for only Cisco products, who even can not take part in the process of making routers or switches, then is not the master of INTERNET. Since a CCIE just work for Cisco only, Cisco should train the candidates on the cuff for its partners and clients!
Now Cisco displaced its responsibility with the society, it requires the candidates pay a lot of dollars and valuable leisures to get the certifications. In other words, Cisco takes societal resources to fulfil the incumbency of a vendor. So is 3com, and so on. In this case, Cisco is something about greed. Since Cisco declare that "CCIE is not a training based certification", then NLI, NMC and so on are somethings about greed, too.
TestKing just exceed whate is proper.
IMHO. I think CCIE's original intention is for rewarding the extra experienced engineers without courses, without guessing lab contents.
