I think this is quite true but they really didn't need to name the 'new' certifications with the same old acronyms. Somehow I think the new name 'solutions expert' is a way to avoid problems with the term engineer. I'm sure that most members here have had a discussion or two about the meaning of engineer.

Good to know, thanks!

 

Agreed. I was pretty shocked to suddenly be an MCSA - which is why I'm not too bitter about all this.
Even gladder to hear the MCSA doesn't expire.

I've got a feeling, from what MS have written that the new cloud exams won't be based on one exact feature of an OS and so will evolve faster. But there still aren't too many details, as far as I can see. MS are money hungry, but they aren't totally stupid. I don't think they would do anything too drastic with their certs, which is why I'm okay to wait and see how things pan out before I get too worked up about anything.
