Does Security+ count?

I've seen both yes and no to this, but it still seems dubious as to whether it will count toward an MCSE. I have my CompTia Security+ cert, and it would be real nice if it applied to the MCSE in any way. It would take little time to get my A+ and Network+ certs, too, but I don't know if these count toward the MCSE or not. If someone could enlighten me, please.

To receive an elective credit toward the MCSA certification, candidates must earn the CompTIA A+ credential and either the CompTIA Network+ credential or the CompTIA Server+ credential. Alternatively, candidates can earn the CompTIA Security+ credential.

Basically the Security+ trumps all other Comtia certs.
A+ and Net+ do NOT count for MCSE. They do count for MCSA.
Sec+ counts for both. I also used it to gain my MCSE.
Network+ Certification, Server+ Certification, MCSA

But one can't combine Network+ & Security+ ... for MCSA right?
It is mandatory to have A+ & Network+ OR Security+....?
The only problem I see is that this forum would lose a large majority of its activity.
