All the hype of Channel9 did not escape the attention of Slashdot.
Channel9 just got Slashdotted
Man I can't go anywhere without bumping into something that Scoble has his paws into! :-)
I had my first look at Channel9 on MSDN today. Concept seems interesting and the content seems good, so far. One thing I did find a little odd was the amount of page real-estate dedicated to pics of “The Crew” and the “Online Users”. A little bit of overkill maybe?
Bill Hill has some interesting commentary, declaring that Windows is not the most important OS. I got a good kick out of this.
I am curious to know what value Microsoft recruiters and Microsoft in general, put into candidates/employees having certification. Take for example the MCSD .NET certification. Does Microsoft require that their own software engineers have this certification? Do they encourage it? What weight would a certification such as this have when applying at Microsoft?
It would also be interesting to know what percentage of software engineers at Microsoft have their MCSD .NET. What do the Microsoft developers/architects/etc.. think of the MCSD .NET certification?
I know there are many more aspects and qualifications that are looked at when evaluating employees and perspective employees, but I was curious as to how folks at Microsoft value the specific area of certifications such as MCSD.
