Which exchange cert to get?

If I were to get an exchange cert having no exchange experience, which one should I go for first? 2007 or 2010? If 2010 covers most/all topics of 2007 then it would make sense to do that one (I believe).

Thanks in advance for all replies!

I would start with Exchange 2007. Since most companies are presently on or moving towards implementing Exchange 2007.

Mainstream support for Exchange 2007 ends next April. All the clients I deal with are moving towards 2010 regardless of what their current system is (2003, 2007, Notes, GroupWise). 2010 is a more mature product and I wouldn't even consider recommending a new implementation of 2007 at this time. Go for the 2010 certs.

Plus, 2007 is frustrating. I wanted to do 'a' Exchange exam myself when 2007 was 'in' and gave up quickly. 2010 is a lot of fun and turns into my second love after VMware

I would still obtain the Exchange 2007 certification. While these companies are migrating from Exchange 2007 it would be good to have a firm understanding of 2007. And be able to explain the difference between 2007 and 2010.
