MCSE:Security & Windows 7 70-680 exam

broc

Hi guys, I am contemplating starting on the MCSE:Security but was surprised to see that Microsoft doesn't list the 70-680 exam as a valid exam for the operating system when it is valid for the general MCSE.

Does anyone know if it's just not listed yet as it is to new or is there a specific reason why you have to do either the Vista or XP exam for the MCSE:Security?

Thanks!

I am not sure about MCSE, but it is listed as an option for MCITP...

Yep I saw that, I'm still in two minds about going for the MCSE:Security or the MCTIP:EA...

I know that 2003 is still everywhere but I'm struggling to read books & docs from 2003 when we're soon to be in 2010

ya, i decided to finish 2003 this year since i had started the track years ago. The deciding factor was the MCSE is permanent on your transcript. Also it seems to be a relatively short path to upgrade.
