Hi everyone,

I'm at the very beginning now. I've passed 70-210 and now looking towards
MCSA. And I'm not sure which one should work on - 2000 or 2003.

IMHO:

MCSA 2000
Pros
+ more familiar with
+ there're more businesses using 2000 right now
+ after upgrading can have both 2000 and 2003 status
+ chances are that MCSA 2000 will be good enough to get a job in a company
with 2003 environment
Cons
- eventually will be replaced by 2003
- more exams to pass and more expensive and time-consuming


MCSA2003
Pros
+ newer technology
+ MCSA2003 can also get a job where requirement is MCSA2000 (or am I wrong?)
+ less time- and effort-consuming than uprading from 2000
Cons
- less experience than with 2000
- as I said, right now 2000 is more demanded (I think)


Now, gentlemen, what are your thoughts about it and what would you recommend
me?

With best regards,
Aman

Yes, I agree with you about more experience being displayed
