Vista Credential Inching Toward 20K

Windows Vista might be getting dinged in the press lately, but it’s no
stopping anyone from seeking the MCTS: Vista — Configuratio
certification. In fact, the title appear to be one of the hottest o
the new-generation Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exams.

According to numbers posted on the Microsoft MCP Web site early thi
month, 18,869 IT pros worldwide passed an exam to obtain the MCTS
Windows Vista — Configuration. The next big gainer? The MCTS: .NE
Framework 2.0 Web Applications certification, at 266 fewer holders tha
the Vista title.

The MCTS: Vista — Configuration title has been available since Januar
2007, which is when Microsoft released the 70-620 TS: Vista
Configuration exam. The MCTS: .NET Web Apps title had a headstart
becoming a valid credential when one of the two required exams finall
saw daylight back in March 2006 (in this case, Exam 70-536 TS: .NE
Framework 2.0 — Application Development Foundation; the other exam tha
makes up the title is 70-528 TS: .NET Framework 2.0 — Web-Based Clien
Development, which was released two months earlier)
