>>>Sure. How much did you need to study specifially for MVP? How much did you spend in training costs specifically for MVP? How difficult was the MVP test? Compare that to what is required to become an MCP.

>>In regard to time, probably, MVP costed me more :). In regard to money, it's arguable (i didn't pay myself for MCP test:). In regard to test difficulty, i don't know how MVP is evaluated (should be higher i guess).

>I think that by getting MVP status one can save on MCP exams. :) Because MS Most Valuable Professional anyway means that MS recognizes you as a Professional and in addition Most Valuable. :)
>Of course if the clients have an idea what MVP means... :)
