Looking forward to playing with the beta when its out
Looks like Prometric has published the results for the Beta exam,noticed it appear on my transcript and the prometric website and I'm glad that I cleared it :-)
2 more exams to go for MCPD EAD 3.5
Just yesterday , I was trying to look up some one on the MCP directory (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/directory/default.mspx)
and noticed that the link no longer works . Searched around the MCP landing page and still could not find the directory.
Another feature that was also missing was the MCP Profiles page that was rolled out in early 2008 and gave the ability for MCP's to have a community profile like MVP's .
( link to the blog post from Georgeo announcing it http://blogs.msdn.com/mcp/archive/2007/10/18/mcp-2008-recognition-respect-and-reward.aspx)
Did any one else notice this? Did they get scrapped? Haven't seen any official announcement to this effect though.
If any one knows where they currently exist, drop me an email / a comment
Update 02/12/2009
I got an answer from Sarah Grant at Microsoft .Reproduced below
"Yes, the reason you cannot update your profile is that we found very few people used it and was not making the impact in the community we wished. It was announced that it would retire in December - and it did"
Was checking my transcript today and found out that I cleared this exam during its beta offering in the month of October. I could not give 70-505( the TS exam) because of a schedule conflict. Hope to give 70-505 one of these days schedule permitting :-)
I was just asked by some folks today if there was a page that lists the number of Microsoft Certified Professionals, hence posting the link to the page
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certified.mspx
This page has been there for quite some time now
