It's 4 exams - see link.

The difficulty depends on your experience and personal ability.

It's a life cert in that you will always be an MCSA, but as time goes on it obviously becomes less valuable and less relevent.

More advanced - yes for the most part, when comparing to any indivdual CompTIA cert. On a par with perhaps A+, Net+, Server+ and Sec+ all together.
