If they did make a 360 certificate a pre-requisite to sit the lab, I think the CCIE would lose alot of respect. It would certainly lose much of my respect for the certification, as at that point I would see it more as a Cisco fundraiser, rather than what is supposed to be. Also, there is no way I could afford it, so I suppose I'd have to move on in my life to something else...maybe Juniper : )

Subject: OT: Rumor Control: Major CCIE RS Changes - Do or Do Not Book Your Lab 
Ok - Fresh off the press. 
Cisco is getting ready to announce a major shift in the Cisco 360 Program. 
Some say is it posed to wipe the "Grey Market Vendors" off the map in favor 
of the "Evil" Cisco 360 Program. 
Well - Maybe it's an April Fool's Joke... 
Maybe it is true. 
Either way - Be afraid... 
I think the Cisco 360 was not working out as well... 
Give me your born for 6-12 month subscription was a load of BS.. 
Compared to the competition.... 
Hmm? 
And the rumor further says.... The Cisco 360 Program is withdrawn... 
Going to check now. 
This is hot as horse-shit! 
Take it for what is worth.
