>>OK, the MS tests are available for MCTS & MCPD with dot net 4.0 and VS2010 but there are no training materials available for probably another 6 months. If a person were to start with exams now then I assume you would have to soon thereafter take the upgrade exams to be current. Is there any advice about how one should proceed if they do not wish to wait and the materials are not available? Would any of the pre-requisist exams count to switch mid-stream?

Thanks Craig,
The exams are available now, but no training materials. It appears it was re-organized enough that using the old materials might be a mistake. I will just have to decide if to wait or expect to take the upgrade exam.
Thanks
