Windows Vista Certifications Coming in Early 2007

Although full details are still pending, Microsoft has announced on its Web site that several new IT professional certifications covering Windows Vista will become available in early 2007. The new titles include:

* Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): Windows Vista, Configuration
* Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Consumer Support Technician
* MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician

Microsoft suggests that if you have taken only exam 70-271 or 70-272, you should consider completing your MCDST in early 2007 to validate your skills on Windows XP and position yourself to take advantage of a one-exam upgrade path-and limited-time 40% savings on the exam-to Windows Vista certifications when they become available.

Microsoft will be present two Live Meeting events on December 6, 2006 to explain the new certifications and exams and answer questions. To register visit the Vista upgrade announcement page.
