Please define the term real MCSE, being as the first word in the acronym
stands for 'Microsoft' 
it would stand to reason that a real MCSE is nothing more than trained
'Microsoft' marketing monkey.

I believe what you are referring to is not quite a 'real MCSE' however,
but a Networking/Systems engineer.

like everyone on the network gets the MSBLASTER worm then the MCSE is
as much at fault as Microsoft is.

Microsoft builds the piece of sh*t but the MCSE are the ones pushing 
it down everyone's throat saying "Look at how user friend and secure 
this is".

Any real MCSE would know that windows is crap and should therefor do a

better job of protecting the internal network.

That is a load of B.S. if I ever heard it.

I can attest to the fact that this is indeed.... NOT BS...

True, there are a bunch of MCSE's that are on top of 
things....however, there are way too many scam artists with 
MCSE's who only give a damn about getting a bigger consulting 
fee than securing their customer's networks.

And of course there isn't a single *nix consultant around who 
isn't worth his/her weight in gold and doing an absolutely 
fabulous job......

Shitty people come in all shapes and sizes and infest every 
profession. They're as unavoidable as air.

Kinda feeling like all fingers point home huh?

Why blame the poor MCSE's when one should perhaps fault the vendor 
again, for not only failing to provide a viable patching system that

does not overburden these folks, but also undertrains them in 
perperation for the world of hurt they are about to be employed in.

There, that should satisfy all those  indignant MCSE's that try to 
do the right thing, but are swamped with the rate of and poor 
quality of patches they have to deal with.


Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
