cut off date for upgrade?

Hi, just wondering if microsoft have proposed a cutoff date for upgrading to
mcse(2003)? Or is it the case that there is none and i have all the time in
the world so long as those upgrade exams are available. I am just bored of
taking these pricy exams. I spent and went through enough getting my mcse+i,
mcdba, mcse(2k) blah blah

Currently, there is not a cut off date for the upgrade exams. However,
depending on your certification (i.e. MCT), you may have program deadlines
that you must meet. Always go to http://www.microsoft.com/traincert for the
latest training news for Microsoft certification.

Other than exam retirement, they no longer have any cut off/deadlines ...
For example, I am an MCSE NT4, and it will never expired ... I passed
70-240, the "four-in-one" test", for Windows 2000, but haven't done my other
three tests ... Just gotta get off my rump and do it ... of course, I work
with this stuff every day, so it's just a matter or refreshing and test
skills ...

What other three tests? I have always been under the impression that if you
were an MCSE on NT4 and you passed the 70-240 test, you were then 2000
certified and didn't have to take any of the other tests. It is similiar
for 2003 in that you have to do 70-292 and 70-296 which are upgrade versions
of the cour four, but not anything else. Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong.
