    On Techexams, a thread was started about a missing lapel pin, and gregrnel (a user registered there) sent an e-mail to MS about a missing lapel pins, here's the reply e-mail:

    To see the whole thread, click here.

    I guess on the whole, MS does this as a cost cutting excerise (as well as providing indepth answers to queries) so that they can divert additional funds to other valuable resources for us Microsoft certified professionals... :lol:

    Hey become an Office Specialist and you can buy a new lapel pin, see here.

    The cost of a lapel pin: $1.50
    The cost of shipping a lapel pin to the UK: $30.00.
    The cost of realising what you've just done: Priceless

    Spread the good news around :lol::lol::lol:

    hmm, sounds a bit cheap to me. The Comptia certificates are way better then the MS ones. The badge was the best bit of the cert kit... the exam costs £88 a go, I am sure the budget would cover a 99p badge :blink

    'Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!'

    About 4 weeks, I know you might have to wait up to 6 weeks for it, I can't believe how long it takes for a cert to be sent :D
