<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;">What gets me is that a CCNP Voice needs one test to upgrade to CCNP Collaboration (<a href="http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/tools/ccnp_collab/ccnp_collab_tool.html" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/tools/ccnp_collab/ccnp_collab_tool.html</a>).
<br>
<br>
Really? Only one test's worth of info is what changes between Voice and Collaboration?<br>
<br>
If you are going to retire and invalidate a credential and move to another tract altogether, then it should be a top-down revamp, not just one test of a few new questions about video.<br>
<br>
This feels like it is nothing more than re branding/marketing; and I shouldn't have to pay for that.<br>
<br>
My grumpy two cents,<br>
