Sorry, that was my mistake, read the orginal post wrong, thought it was MCSE , Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.
An interesting bit of puffery, that. I wonder if in reality the qualification is MCSE or CMSE (Certified Microsoft Systems Engineer). I have no experience whatsoever with the program, but I wonder how much is in it that isn't MS-specific.
An MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) and an MCSE both told me: There is the right answer, the wrong answer, and the Microsoft answer. To pass the MCSE, you must ignore the right answers and provide the answers that Microsoft has given you in your books.
I wouldn't expect them to have anything about Linux (except, perhaps, for a 20-point question on how to uninstall it),
Which, by the way, the instruction on their web site will leave the poor victim with a useless computer. No Linux, no DOS.
but I'm curious as to how much system-independent knowledge is in the exam, be it knowing the right kind of cable to use for a certain connection (the issue you raised), the fundamental principles of object-oriented programming, or the ideas behind public-key cryptosystems and zero-knowledge proofs.
