Retiring exams now 40% off

The 70-447 exam: Upgrade: MCDBA Skills to MCITP Database Administrator by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is retiring in March 2009. If you're an MCDBA in SQL Server 2000, this exam with the 70-431 will earn you the MCITP: Database Administrator in SQL Server 2005.

Microsoft has recently announced that all the exams that are scheduled to retire have their prices reduced by 40 percent. In the U.S., the normal price is $125, so this makes the price $75 ($50 off!).

This price reduction applies to all the exams retiring in March 2009. You can see the details here:

Hello, i am hannan. Your article is wonderful.I wanna apply for the mcitp credentials .YEs ,40%of mcitp exams is retiring .And Much of the material covered in MCSE courses no longer applies to business and private networks,as most of the technology has been updated. read a post from a blog ,it said on that reasons :the mcse has been out of date ,and it is not popular with the IT professionals or those who want to be IT professionals.and even though we got the credentials ,during the great depression, I still had difficulties in jobs .That post is from microsoftbible.com or microsoftkit.com.
I am sorry i don't remember it clearly .
I want to apply for the exams ,but I am confused ,so please give me advice.thanx
