  Hi, I would like to know if there is an expiring date for the registration and for the exam. I am unable to understand it from the website (I can only read: "This offer is available for a limited time, so be sure to register now.") Thanks.

  Hi dancerjude, First off, let me apologize for the delayed response.   Vacations ten to slow things down.  :-) The registration deadline for this offer is June 30, 2009.  You must take your second exam before that date. Gerry

  Thanks Gerry for your response. Don't matter about the delay, as you can see I read the response only today, and I was not in vacation ;-) Bye

  Hi Vin, Unfortunately, I'm not clear on what your question is really asking. You don't "have" to upgrade to any certification unless you want to.  If you want to hold a certification in Windows Presentation Foundation, then you will need to take that exam.  The same holds true for Workflow and Communications Foundation.  For that matter, if you want to be certified on Windows or Web for .NET 3.5, you will need to take those exams. You have already completed exam 70-536 so that is good.  There are no upgrade paths for MCTS certifications from MCTS 2.0 to MCTS 3.5.  You need to take the exam or exams required for each 3.5 certification with the exception of 70-536 if you have already completed it.

  First of all uykuy, if it's Sept. 25 where you are, then I can't help you just yet because I'm still only on Sept. 21. For all current offers, visit http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/special-offers.aspx#tab1. Gerry
