I think I can certainly offer some comments on this debate, as until I was made redundant in September last year, I was working as sysadmin/support for an IT Training company (advantage of that is that part of my redundancy deal is cost price IT training for life) I was involved in Unix and Oracle Training, but its a small world..full of resellers, and I saw the operations of Microsoft and Oracle bootcamps, from a number of viewpoints...
My feeling is, that Bootcamps can be useful as an helping hand to get a job, but any realistic employer wouldn't look just at the piece of paper..
I qualified myself by taking one exam at a time, and some of the time not doing the appropriate course, but buying "the book" spending 24/7 sitting in front my home network, working my way through and trying everything out...
plus of course, there is experience and there is experience, it may say "10 years working for x y and z on your CV, but how does anyone know what you were doing...for real.
peoples brains work differently as far as memory and learning is concerned, "the theory of multiple intelligences" . some folk will cram and cram and get the bit of paper, and remember every bit of what they learnt when it is needed, others will pass with flying colours, and then have forgotten the lot when they get home...
Getting to the end of what is becoming a long post, (and could go on for even longer) . I think Boot Camps are an expensive way of getting certificated.. If you really feel you are the type of person who can cram the lot in quick and pass, and then still cope in the real life workplace.... my advice would be do your own DIY bootcamp... hardware is so cheap now its untrue...and.. there are ways and means of getting the licensed software you need without breaking any laws.
take care
