the 2009 edition isn't "out" yet - the draft objectives have been published, but as far as I can tell, the exam hasn't been released nor have final objectives.
Once the new objectives *are* released, you'll have at least 6 months to take exams under the old objectives, so there's plenty of time.
Currently Studying For: Nothing (cert-wise, anyway)
Next Up: Security+, 291?
Enrolled in Masters program: CS 2011 expected completion
