Hi,
I would start with this link
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/view-by-technology.aspx Please go over this site and then if you have any specific question, feel free to ask.
You need to pass 1 or more exams to get each of these certificates and these exams cost money. Yes, both certificates (Microsoft and Cisco) are good and you have to pay for both certification exams.
Choose the certification which you want and then we can tell you what book to read.
Hope this is helpful.
