Re: MCSD Visual Studio 6.0 Track to be discontinued June 30 2004
 

My question is what about the MCSD VS 6 track? I no longer see this option
on their website? Even if we complete the tests, will we achieve MCSD
status? Or, are we forced to go .NET for that?

TIA,

MCSD on VS6 is still on the MS website, but you have to go
look for it. Select 'Search for an exam' on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcpexams/default.asp
You will find that MCSD on VS6 is still available.

You can achieve MCSD status using the VS6 exams until June 30, 2004 when the
exams are retired. After that you will not lose your certifications but no
new certifications will be awarded based on those exams.
