mcp certification expiration

[Nosh]

Some one told me that our current mcp certifications like for c# and asp.net
will expire in four months since longhorn will be released and we will have
to do the .NET 2 certifications is that true?

You have got more chance of having a poo on the moon than seeing Vista
(Longhorn) being released in 4 months.

You are probably thinking of VS2005, C# and .Net v2. Usually, there is an
upgrade path for certifications, AFAIK.

Hi,
I have been in contact with a microsoft guy based on that and for my self I
am just going on my MCAD and MCSD path. Actually I get VB.NET and continue
with ASP.NET. I was wonderwering also if I should suspend my study path or
continue.

The answer is definitlky complete my path on VS 2003 and when upgrade for
2005 will be there go for it. Advantage will be that you will get certified
on both environement.

They do not even know know how upgrade will be, the only think that they
know will be change is the certification information which will more
specialities oriented.
Actually when people get certified , you do not really know in what area
unless you go to the transcript. YOur information will then belong close to
you title

So definitly continue with your study on VS 2003. Today some company are
still looking for certified people on VB 6, so no worried in that
