Well said Sergey! I'm no friend of this Micro$oft money machine either.
First of all the prices are way through the roof and secondly what do you learn?
You learn for passing a test.
No deep understanding!
No real insight!
I
hate
it! Period!
P.S.: Way back in 1999 I got to know some MCAs our company hired to take care of our infrastructure. They weren't worth the money of the paper that certificate was printed on.

Thank you, Manfred.
Ah, now you are about the use of such certifications… Totally agree with you. I never ever met a person for whom the certifications were useful in any way. This is just scam. If some companies give some importance to it, this is their problem (and again, no benefits). Nothing can replace systematic study. But can it provide a little help? I don't thing so. It can help creation of the illusion of knowledge, which is worse than lack of knowledge. Overall, I think the effect is predominantly negative, not even counting the loss of money.
Also, take a look at this recent article: .NET Interview Questions and Answers - Code Examples. I down-voted and explained why I think the article is bad:

Personally I agree with you on the whole certificates thing.
But this:
Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov wrote: If some companies give some importance to it, this is their problem (and again, no benefits)
is not entirely true. The company's do get some benefit from it, better license prices, free licenses, ...
It's not a measure of knowledge tho (as they would like to believe), not even close to it.
So yeah it's all about money.

Whatever… I just don't care about that. This is still their problems.  It doesn't make all the certification scam (as I think) any better.
Thank you for your comment.

True

Also true
I guess programmers have different view on these certificates

I totally agree. This is advertisement pure and simple. Yes, it regards programming; no, it's not an article or a resource of CodeProject.

No, obviously there isn't.
I'm trying to find the source for his second article.
[Edit] Can't find the source of the second one, either. It seems like a compilation of several codes gathered from several places and mixed together to produce some sort of quick how to. [/Edit]
