The 070-620 'Windows Vista, Configuring' exam got done early this week and passed it. I still have not migrated my computers to Windows Vista and my experience with the operating system reflected in the exam score. But a pass is a pass and the score has been received by Microsoft. The transcript has been updated and I ordered all the welcoming kits and certificates yesterday.

I am going over the study materials for the 070-290 'Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment' exam approaching late May. I actually paid the full exam fee of $125 just so that I could register with the Second-Chance offer. Once this exam is done, only the 070-291 'Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure' remains before I earn the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) credential. Then I'll take a break before going back to study mode to finish the remaining MCSE course requirements.

Comptia A+
I decided to study and take the Comptia's A+ exams after going through the 070-290 and the 070-621 exams. The A+ certification was one of those things that I should have gotten done back in my freshman year. The exam vouchers are pretty expensive but better to get it done this year than to wait for another exam fee increase.
