If you don't see it posted on the MCP site... it’s not scheduled for

not so soon I guess 2016 is when .net 2 will be retired..looking
forward to it already eh?
lol
The new orcas (3.5 stream) will have no effect on the old .net 2
framework exams, just that you will be certified for .net 2 if you
take 70-528. So if you complete 536 and 528 you'll be mcts .net web
application .net 2.0.
But 528 won't help you for the MCPD track which has different
requirements now.-http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcpd/vstudio/

Thanks Lawrence. I didn't know about the exam retirement page.

Thanks a lot. We're going to be using 2.0 for the time being so I wanted to
make sure the cert would be valid for a while. Thanks for the links also.
