I don't make a habit of copying other people’s blogs, but after my prep-series for 70-649 / 71-649, it’s okay for me on this one. The original can be found at Trika’s blog.
Hi. You probably already heard the update on WS2008 release to manufacturing (RTM), now scheduled for 1st quarter of 2008 instead of end of year 2007. As a result... The transition exams 70-648 and 70-649 will be available on October 29, 2007, now. They were scheduled for September 20, but the changes/slip in technology mean some items on our exams are affected, too. If you took the beta for either of these exams (71-648 or 71-649), your result should be available no later than October 29 (or a few weeks before). The MCTS exams are still scheduled for RTM +30 days; the MCITP exams are still scheduled for RTM +60. Don't know what I'm talking about? Read about the WS2008 certification family.
Guess I have to wait for my beta-score a little longer...
