for those of you about to Rock, i salute you

And by 'Rock,' i mean 'transition your skills from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.' Here are two things of note:

Number 1. If any of you registered for the 40% discount voucher to use on your transition exams from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (that's 70-648 and 70-649), you should expect to get your code in September, when the exams are available. The plan is to time it with the release of the exams so you could register on the spot, if you want, and not have the codes get lost in in-boxes. You haven't missed anything and there is no action required.

Number 2. There is kind of a cool e-learning offer (or, I think it sounds cool) if you want to start prepping for 70-648 or 70-649. Purchase e-learning Collection 6041: Upgrading Your Windows Server 2003 MCSE Technical Skills to Windows Server 2008 at 15 percent off now and get three additional upgrade collections on Networking, Active Directory, and Application Platform Services FREE. Details. On that same page we still have the "introducing 2008" clinics for free, maybe those would help too.

The betas for the WS2008 MCTS and MCITP exams are a long way off (think start of 2008) so don't go getting your panties in a bunch just yet. Is this all old news? I've been out and now on travel so I'm behind on everything. I'll be boring your heads off blogging my head off about something that you already blogged your head off about six weeks ago.
