It´s great that Microsoft offers certificates for those people who wants to study further.
So they learn it and at the end they get a certification.
I would like to get the MCSM Exchange 2013 certification.

Where do you see things going now that Microsoft has decided to stop these certifications? Do you think there will be enough clamoring to have them come back, or do you think they will offer something else?
