NEW Retirement Date for the Windows 8 MCSA! - 31st December 2016!

Hello Everyone,
I just thought Id make you aware that the retirement dates for this course have changed once again. After speaking to somebody from Microsoft on their website, I have been informed that we now have until the 31st of December 2016 due to the delay in producing the Windows 10 MCSA. I was given a link which led to Microsoft’s website which seems to confirm this so I’m pretty confident that this is the case.
I don’t know when they decided on this but I don’t feel like they made everybody aware of this ( I certainly didn’t know!) so I figured I’d let you all know before you start throwing money at the screen trying to get it done quickly. We now have more time to play with so lets take advantage.
Best of luck guys!

They've also announced retirement dates for the Windows Server 2008 exams (July 2017).
So I've just been back to the MS Learning wesbsite to confirm the latest info...
One page says MCSA Windows 8 retires end July 2016.
Another page says MCSA Windows 8 retires end Dec 2016.
Another page says MCSA Windows 8 can be upgraded to Windows 10 with exam 70-697.
Add to this the constantly changing dates for retirements and it's a mess of confusion.
