Sure you could call them apples and oranges, (or even cauliflowers and
cantaloupes), but if you think failing the CCIE lab a few times is harsh.
Check out Microsoft's MCA requirements.

MCA : messaging architect
Candidates for the program must meet rigorous prerequisites. This ensures
that individuals who have been accepted already possess many of the unique
skills that are necessary to be effective. Years of experience working with
Exchange are required, in addition to passing a lab-based entrance exam.
During the rigorous training (four weeks, six days a week, 12 hours a day),
several other tests are administered.
If two of these tests are not passed, candidates are prohibited from taking
the final qualification exam-they will not become Certified Messaging
Architects.

I first thought this was an april fool's type joke. but it's real. Microsoft
is making up for years of being a joke with their MCSE who can't set up a
dhcp scope, etc.
