SharePoint Server 2007 Certification

I have been invited to take the SharePoint Server 2007 Configuring 71-630,
and SharePoint Services 3.0 Configuring 71-631, Beta Exams.

Has anyone taken these exams?
Is this the first Certification Exams for SharePoint?
Any insite about SharePoint exams would be appreciated.
