Microsoft has introduced a new structure of certifications to better reflect both technology and job-role skills. Aligned with the release of Windows Vista, these new IT professional certifications are available: + Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): Windows Vista, Configuration Although progressive organizations will adopt Windows Vista immediately, Windows XP will continue to be a driving force in IT for years to come. If you have taken only exam 70-271 or 70-272, we recommend that you complete your MCDST now to validate your skills on Windows XP and position yourself to take advantage of a one-exam upgrade path—and limited-time 40 percent savings on the exam—to Windows Vista certifications. With both MCDST and MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician, you can offer an employer, a client, or a project team confidence on any platform. |
