Do I need the Windows App exam to pass 70-300

I posted a few days and didn't get an answer so I'll give another go
Those of you who have done the 70:300 exam, do you need to have done the
Windows applications exam or is it purely things like UML and normalization
rather than the specifics of a web app being right for one solution and
windows app being right for another? I need to know to tell my boss what
training for the company to pay for.

There is no specific requirement for knowing how to build individual
programs for this test, but it seems wise to have that skill before
taking this test.

I personally don't understand taking the 70-300 first, but it's not
really "wrong".

You might want to consider which test would enhance your career more at
this time.

I work for a web design company who neither builds or uses bespoke windows
apps. We are introducing .net and I want something a little more formal in
terms of how I do specs. I would rather do it first while the company is
willing to pay for it so we can get the benefit ASAP rather than take a lot
of time and effort for something the company doesn't need. I can do the
Windows App exam in my own time purely to get the MCSD qualification.

Sounds good to me. I like to fill my immediate job-related concerns
first.

No ms exam covers this.

why not? Anyone worth their paycheck should be able to complete this
exam. How else would you account for the high pass rate during the
beta phase!
