I can see the conversation now...
"Sure, Mr Prospect, I am a Microsoft Partner. To earn that, I went to a
usenet group and got a bunch of certified people to link their MCP ID to my
company, which is really only me. No, they don't actually work for me,
actually, I've never even met any of them and I don't know anything about
them other than the fact that they were stupid enough to comply with my
request. Where are they from? Oh, I imagine that they are from China or
India. What's that? How does that prove that my company can help you?
Well, I got the points, didn't I?"
Excuse me, but isn't one of the terms of Microsoft Partnership program to
get the points is to actually employ certified people? Are you sure you
want to start off your partnership with Microsoft in this fashion? Are you
sure you want to advertise that here?
