I'm on the plane back to Toronto right now and a women comes on to the plane carrying a little goodie bag with 'I visited the Microsoft Company Store' on both sides. Nice bag, actually.
As she walks by a lady behind me turns to her seat mate and says:
"They lay people off, make this crappy Vista thing and she wants to brag? I'd hide that crap.."
Ouch.

As an MCSD that I worked dang hard to earn...I feel for that reputation...and the comments from that obviously unhappy bag observer.
That said, I still wear my own MS branded clothing, have one of their watches on a couple of days a week and for the most part, I'm proud to have that cert...and use their software.
YMMV...but hey, we're all diff, eh?

Yes, Jim - my mileage varies greatly.
I'm afraid that in my circles, MS certification is considered a detractor.
Now, Cisco certification - that's something everyone respects. I'm not a networker - so, no, I don't have it.
