Does the certification survive running the certified system on virtual hardware? (I would expect replacing real hardware with virtual hardware to to be equivalent to replacing an Intel NIC with a 3COM NIC, or an Intel mobo with an ASUS mobo, etc. If your certification is also tied to specific hardware, I so feel for you...) -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
