i was going to do messaging but have decided to wait until the 2007 version is out as my company is going 2007 so i didn't see the point it learning the 2003 first and then having to do the 2007 afterwards.

I've heard the messaging part isn't that bad compared to the rest of it?

to get the MCSE+Messaging you need one more mate which is better again, just need 285!

I did the MCSE with 299 as my option and 620 (vista) instead of XP

Congratulations mate!!!

Well done, its a long hard road which i looked into last year.

Decided against it as i couldnt be bothered to study for so long.

It worked out for the best in my case as i have now moved jobs which i wouldnt have been able to do if i had started MCSE.

Get the beers in.....i'll have a pint of beater please.
