Microsoft SoCal Architecture Blog reports that Microsoft is in the process of launching an Architect Certification Process. The certificate might be ready early 2006. It is reported that at least 10 Microsoft marketingguys are currently working day and night to come up with a 4-letter abreviation for the new program ;-)

Maybe one day *sigh*... first I need to get around doing my Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) and possibly Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD).
