Certification

[Scott Williams <swill41@jcpenney.com>]

I see Tom Limoncelli's point about general test questions, standards you would 
expect to see accross the board. I seem to remember finding some certification 
a couple of years ago, on the net. I can't remember exactly where, but it tied 
in with an "industry standard". I still see some references to this, with 
people asking for "A+" certification in some employment ads. Anyone have any 
thoughts or knowledge of this?

I do disagree with Tom in that Unix scares corporate America. Unix is indeed 
holding it's own in the real powerhouse applications and number crunching of 
data processing. There's no way Access on NT could crunch like Oracle on Unix, 
no matter what the hardware. The real killer of Unix will be the cost. The OS 
and related aps are just WAY too expensive, compared to the alternatives. If 
that aspect was gone, and pricing was competitive, Unix would blow NT away. 
Sales and market saturation, that is. It already has NT beat as an OS.
