'From time to time I come across an advert in The Times by a computer man who describes himself as Microsoft-certified. To be precise, I have not only seen his advert, but have also used his services and lived to regret it. My query, albeit late, is, what does this term actually mean?

'Is there such a thing in Malta as certified Microsoft personnel? Does Microsoft actually certify local individuals, or is this person playing with words and on people's ignorance of its significance to attract business?

'I hope this query falls under your terms of reference and, if not, perhaps you might be kind enough to direct me.' (Walter W. Izzo)
