I would assume that most do. There's no point it studying for, paying for, then taking an exam which you can get credit for if you can get credit for if you've already got the Comptia certs.

I agree....with /usr.

If you got em, use em.

I guess I will be too as long as Microsoft keeps the Comptia certs as an elective.

i got A+ and N+ and Im using it to excuse me of taking 1 exam for MCSA!

Instead of the 4 Microsoft Exams to become MCSA, I just need to take 3!

I already tooked and past 2 of them and Im planning to take the 3rd next week to become MCSA certified!

Not to burst your bubble Danny, but if you're going towards MCSE, you'll have to take the extra exam anyway...someday at least.....
