Well, a cert is useful only if someone actually gives the cert holder some kind of benefit, be it higher salary or hiring preference. These days the certificates are pretty much a dead thing except of having something to put on a wall in your cubicle, IMO - very often it is more a matter of paying for the courses and sitting out the whole training than actually understanding and learning anything. Training is is a business too. Also, a cert from 3 years ago documents only that you were taught something about a 3+ years old technology - which could be pretty well obsolete and worthless today, especially in a fast moving field like open source software (anyone has a Novell Netware cert? Or Windows NT one?). I would think twice about this, it is probably not worth the effort. An HR monkey would probably recognize something with a Microsoft seal on it, but will stare blankly at an OSG logo.
