I can't believe they actually tacked some truth onto the end of the 
commercial.  I never had M$ training, but I became an MCSE (NT4).  It 
kind of bugs me when I tell someone, "yeah, I can do all this great 
stuff and I know Linux," but the only thing that gets a really positive 
response is, "oh, and I am an MCSE."  Really?!  Great!  Like nothing 
means anything unless Micro$oft has dubbed it important.  Freakin' 
idiots!  :-)  I had passed the MCSE tests with a fraction of what I knew 
about computers back then.  The good news is that M$ marketing tactics 
do give some value to the MCSE certification.

BTW, searches for C and C++ jobs do produce results.  If you can't find 
a job doing C or C++, there must be another problem.  (I bet I have more 
problems than you have.)
