Any news for Quebec MCSE?

Hi,

Is there any news about the MCSE certification in Quebec? When the "dumb"
court decision happened, i was MCSE 2000. Since then, i passed the test to
upgrade to MCSE 2003, but i didn't get any new certificate or even a congrat
letter, nothing. My co-workers makes fun of it because, legally, i guess, i'm
back to only being a MCP even if i worked hard and passed all the tests.

Please, tell me a solution is coming...

Thanks,

WeirdoBc

Try emailing mcphelp at microsoft. Make sure you include your cert number.
If you get a useful response, please post back here to help others who may
have the same question.

Well, in french, we always called them "Conducteur de train", which
translate to "Train driver". I don't remember ever using the term "ingénieur"
(which is french for engineer) for "the guy that drives trains". But that
remark could actually help to think of a solution, because maybe it's just
that Engineer has been badly translated to "Ingénieur". Here, an "Ingénieur"
is someone that studied in "Génie". But it seems that Engineer, in english,
is more like someone who works with engines....hmmm...i'll have to check for
a more appropriate translation...

Thanks,

It seems that a more appropriate term for a "Train Driver" is a "machiniste".
But it don't seems to suit what the MCSE certificate means. I mean, does the
MCSE title really has something to do with driving an engine (other term for
a locomotive, therefore the origin of the term engineer)?

Maybe something more atuned with the "design" part of the MCSE job would do
better, like a designer (Concepteur in french)...

Well....anyway...i'm still looking for an answer from the microsoft
staff....do they read this forum?

Heh. That's interesting. In English, the Conductor on a train is not the
driver. On the old freights, he'd more likely ride in the caboose, and be
responsible for the cars of the train themselves. On passenger trains,
he'd also be the uniformed guy that punches the tickets and hollers "All
aboard!" before the train leaves the station.

Engineers, in a Merkin English usage, are usually graduates of an
engineering school. But the term is also used to mean, as you say, someone
that works with engines, thus "Ships Engineer" and "Train Engineer". But
more confusingly, for example, the mechanical, or HVAC unit in a building
is sometimes referred to as the "Engineering Department" and the
individual in charge might be refeered to as the "Engineer" also.

I heard a gal(who shall remain nameless) once remark in here that an MCSE
was more of a network "architect" than "engineer", but that wouldn't work,
either, as then the Architects would just sue and we'd be right back where
we started. Plus there's be the issue that they already use the acronym
MCSA for, well, MCSAs.
