Microsoft did actually introduce a certification programme, as well as start to sell their own systems (other than Surface). I can't recall the brand they used but it seemed like a great idea. Seemed like. Whenever I quoted one to a customer they always turned their nose down at the price, then paid me several hours to debloat the thing, fix a driver that was shipped faulty, then a year later pay me again to upgrade it! Oh and replace the useless battery. The list goes on!
