Why are there so few people taking 70-686, or no "passed 686 threads"?

A lot of people to the 680 then MCITP SA/EA Stuff.

Some people are still doing the MCDST route while most of our more advanced people on here took the Beeta when it came out. I'm considering the 686 after I finish my degree and my MCITP:EA but I have a really big "to do" list and not sure what path I might take right now.

Agreed, i think the focal point for most people is getting to that MCSE/MCITP EA mark. Really, that was my main focus but i could have been done much faster if i didnt spend the time on the various betas i did (Server+, 686, 680) and taking 652 when i got a free voucher.

Yeah, there are a bunch of pass/fails posted in the beta results thread:

I guess Windows 7 is still not on many business's radar. Maybe there will be a spike of interest when Windows XP is nearing EOL.

I'm not really interested in getting certified in this technology, however I do own the inside and out book and I find it quite interesting and informative.

I am waiting for the MS Press book to come out later this year. I already have the 680 and the 685. While I wait, I am working on the 640 and then the 642.
