It's admirable that Simon is willing to put his money where his mouth is.  However, I think it would help a lot of people researching this certification if he could explain why he's doing it?  And what he expects to get in return for his investment?

That would be a lot more persuasive (and impressive) than the "soft-marketing" on the official MCA website, MS' cost-recovery plan, or unsubstantiated claims that this certification is the "equivalent of an MBA degree".
