Certifications prove something? This is like saying my drivers license proves that I am a good driver because I am certified to operate an automobile in the US -- we know that is not true. US licenses are given out to people who can barely read English (correction -- they don't have to be able to read English, which all of our signs are written in) and don't understand how to negociate a 4-way stop, of all things. Similarly, Microsoft certifications are so widely distributed in the industry, even the simplest of software testers now have them, thanks to the 'test training schools' all around the area (which are kind of like puppy farms). Actions and past experience speak much more loudly than documents and titles. True, a good person can get a certification, but what does it prove? It proves he got a certification.
