Worth pursuing?

NobylspoonNobylspoon Member Posts: 620 ■■■□□□□□□□
I was planning to work on 70-620 after I finish A+ because it will satisfy both MCSE and MCITP OS requirements but I am wondering if I should even bother since Vista was planned as an interim, minor release of Windows 7 which will phase Vista out when it is released.

I know alot of people do 70-620 because their company uses Vista clients but besides that is it worth pursuing?

    Well, once you learn 620, you'll only have to learn what's new in Windows 7, so it's not like learning Vista is going to be a waste of time. Plus, Windows 7 is pre-alpha (alpha at best) at the moment, and it's still a long ways away. I really don't see it being released until 2010 at the earliest. That seems like a long time to put off your studies.

    The concepts on these exams are universal. Permissions, installation, troubleshooting, file systems.. etc. So there is great value there besides what you mentioned above.

    As far as Vista being a minor release? Vista released at the end of 2006 for the enterprise and early 2007 for consumers. With the next version of Windows expected roughly in late 2009/early 2010 assuming they make their deadline we are talking 3-4 years between releases. Which is a perfectly normal release cycle for an OS.

    I think we are looking about 180 million copies sold in the last PR release from Microsoft. So they are going strong.

    The day you stop learning is the day you start becoming obsolete.
