Great conversation, Blain and Ed! Love what Ed said about the difference between getting an MCSE and being an MCSE. I also enjoyed your take on upgrade exams, as many IT pros are now wondering whether they should complete their MCITP and take 417, or just go to 410/411/412.
Again, thanks for this episode. I'll share it with our Microsoft Learning community!
P.S. Did you know about our "90 Days to MCSA" challenge? http://aka.ms/MCSA90
