like the green monster to me. Granted... all the certification means is that you've memorized enough about the product to take the test... but, isn't that something?

You're wrong there. How does a person "memorize" enough to pass the dreaded 70-100 ("Analyzing Requirements...") test? The betas were a challenge to say the least - definitely more than a proof of your retentive abilities. And if MS modifies them to include more mix-n-match questions they will be even more fun...er...maybe that's not the word for it...
As a team leader I'd be much more inclined to hire MCP/MCSD-certified developers. It may be a commercial program but at least it is a uniform yardstick with which to measure someone's skill set. I've seen more than one person pass themselves off as VFP experts, only to discover later that they can just barely spell "Foxpro".
