> That means, based on your analysis that the current MCSD will expire in the third quarter of 2002 - 1 year from the release of the new product - Visual Studio.

just to clarify a bit...

MCSD = 4 exams. Exams expire individually. So if I use the two fox exams to get my MCSD, i dont necessarily have to replace those two exams with the next two fox exams... I just have to worry about always having the 4 bases covered.
