in Windows Vista exams
Well, I passed MCTS on Configuring Windows Vista Client today. My only study friend was the Microsoft Press book and my several years of beta testing Vista. So I'm now a MCTS!!!!! Guess I need to get ready for the next in my series towards my MCSA now!

    There was one that showed I.E. and you had to click on the right thing, but it wasn't really a sim. That test was definitely harder than practice tests though, they really try to trick you by making answers all extremely similar!

    That's pretty much what my test had.

    The test was definitely harder that the practice exams. I used the MS Press, Sybex, and McGraw Hill books and practice tests.

    Congrats on the pass, going to top it up to the MCITP: EST (bearing in mind the the MCITP certs need to be renewed every 3 years)?

    MCTS doesn't have to be renewed though (at least not from what I've read)

    I have heard rumours about this having to be renewed, but never anything concreate, does anyone have a link or anything else which confirms this as fact?

    Q. Will the new certifications expire?
    A. The Technology Series certifications will expire when mainstream support for the version of the product ends. The Professional Series certifications will require certification refresh every three years from the date of issue.

    Hope this helps
