I'd agree with Tom. Win2k will be around for a number years yet... just look at NT 4.0. Any IT manager worth his/her salt should understand that your Win2k skills would be easy to upgrade. Paul >>> tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 11/17/03 01:20PM >>> I personally would carry on your win2k cert then upgrade to win2k3 you have already done two of the exams for your 2000. Why waste the investment. Also when you past the MCSE and do the upgrade you will have 2 certs Just my two penneth worth _____ From: Ryan Lambert [mailto:rlambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 6:12 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT - Certification Hi all, See a lot of people with a lot of certifications around here, and currently I'm having a "crisis" as to which certification to persue or upgrade as far as NOS. I am currently an MCP in 2000 with only 2 tests finished. I am wondering just how worthwhile it is to persue a full MCSE in 2000, or should I start going down the 2003 road? My dilemma is I am not sure how much longer 2000 will be the preferred OS with 2003 and "Longhorn". I'd rather not put so much effort into something that's going to last me a couple years at best.
