As I said before - I would think product marketing had something to say about this. Just my opinion. Why for the last 4 years has there been a lack of Microsoft products in the exam? Are Microsoft are not relevant or it Marketing bullying the content team?
At the same time there are many folks out there with a voice IE who can't spell SIP. So what do you do about those folks? Historically Cisco have trusted their recertification process as a valid check and balance. It looks like they have lost a bit of faith in the written exams as a valid means to recertification- and that is no surprise to any of us as we all know a 2nd grader could pass one of those exams (and I don't condone the means through which that is possible). When the dust has settled I will be advising all existing voice IE's two things: look at this as an extra challenge that will reap extra reward and secondly - diversify. Collaboration expertise in the very literal sense cannot be confined to a monolithic single vendor application time test that is going to occur . I would have thought a true collaboration expert would (if not now, never) be encouraged to seek skills and experience from a wider spectrum of vendors. Rant over.
