Hello I just passed 70-271 with 800 ! The exam is not that difficult, though it is indeed a good review of some things a desktop support technician might have to do. It is obviously limited by the number of questions (it's impossible to test everything !) but I think it is quite a good exam. I would be glad to hear as soon as the 70-272 comes out !! Do we have any idea about the exact day ?? Also I think it would be really great if Microsoft did the same "Early achiever" thing as for MCSA/E 2003... Hopefully they will have some Early achiever certificates !! Remy
