Do we have any report which shows total # of MCSD cerrtified professional &
their percentage in IT industry ? Has anyone earned new generation
certifications like MCPD & MCTS ?

Thanks

Cerebrus.

The numbers should be from March - look at "Content Updated: March 06,

2006" note on the top of the page.

I found this link on mcpmag but these figures are from 2004.

Hmmm...assuming this is March 2006 statistics it is not a large #, so really
hope to stand out in a crowd as microsoft says...I have one more exam to go
for earning MCSD credentials...hope that money/time/efforts invested would be
worth it...
anybody, any experiences want to share ?

Also, why is the number at the MS site less than half of the total
according to the mcpmag site ?

Acc. to mcpmag, total MCSD's should be 52,894, while acc. to Microsoft,
total MCSD's are 20,582. What's the catch ?

Thanks for the link, Simon.

Wonder why they're showing 2 entries for MCSD, and which one is for
MCSD.NET...

Also, I anticipate a large difference in numbers from 2004 to now.

Hopefully that means they have yanked 32,312 certs from known @$$fuŠers around

the world.

But I doubt it!

Probably, because MCSD refers to the old MCSD on VS 6.0 while .Net is .Net

I figured that , but then which one is .NET ? Both the entries just
show MCSD. Should I assume that there are more MCSD's on .NET or the
reverse ?

I would assume there were more old MCSD's than MCSD.Net's

I don't think the .Net cred has been around long enough to think the
reverse.
