So.....MCDST Still Worth Pursuing ???

The market is still in XP mode and will not likely let up for over a year+. Vista MCTS or MCITP would SEEM like the logical choice. But! many (very many) shops want XP experience but have no idea about the MCDST cert. Many of these same shops, and others, have never heard of the Vista certs. Even though XP will be phased out, makes you wonder if MCDST is still worth pursuing. It does count towards the MCSA, but so does the MCTS. If you already have the MCTS, seems like you still need to earn the MCDST, and then "explain" its relevent value to the industry.
