    Interesting, that said I cant see them dropping the current 6.x VP route as they have only just dropped the old 4.x version. I wonder if they are going to introduce another route along side it.
    if I say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of them offends, I usually mean the other one :-)

    Meh, they are making things too complicated – Shouldn’t CIPT1 and CIPT2 be considered “administrative” classes?

    At this rate the training material will never catch up!!!!!

    You're not wrong there...

    Well, I guess it gives me a good reason to fast track my CCVP.icon_lol.gif

    You wouldn't think they'd drop the current CCVP track, maybe give it till the middle of next year to run.

    Are CIPT1 & 2 unchanged or is TUC rolled in there?

    CAPPS makes sense "Unified Everything", maybe take Unity (what there is of it) out of CIPT1?

    Fun times ahead.

    Nah, you should have plenty of time. I don't see the 6.x path going anywhere anytime soon.

    I can see a lot of the TUC tools being incorporated in the Administering Cisco Voice and Unified Communications (ICOMM) test.

    Yep I'd tend to agree with that. I am surprised that they are thinking (if indeed they are) of dropping TUC, given that they have just introduced troubleshooting into the NP track. I would have thought a revamp of the current TUC wouldve been a better move.

    Guys I agree on the TUC part. It must be there and it's fun.

    By the way, are 4.x/6.x boxes still the most popular systems in the market? Budget cut everywhere. Not that many companies will upgrade to 7.x/8.x if 4.x/6.x boxes are running well (think about PBX, easily 15 years, LOL)

    Funny I said exactly the same thing to a collegue of mine today. I appreciate that tecnology moves on but where phones are concered the need\desire to upgrade is not seen as such a high priority. Stability outweighs everything else.

    This is why you still see PBX's lying around, and also why there will always be a legacy section in almost every chapter we read in VoIP =)
