| I didn't specify that I intend to go with the vb 6.0
track because I don't have vb.net at home. Although, I
think it might be unrealistic to think I can obtain the
cert in a year. It would suck to pass two of the exams
and never become certified because of the deadline.

| You can download the .NET SDK for free from the Microsoft web site. (120 MB)
It includes command-line compilers for C#, VB.NET and JScript.
There are free .NET IDEs available on the web too. You don't have to use
MS's to learn .NET. But you may encounter a few MS IDE questions in the
exams.
If you ask me, I'd say C++ programmers will remain the most valuable
developer for quite some time. With the advent of .NET, some struggling
C/C++ developers may jump to C# for it's simplicity.
Good luck to you.

Sure will. Few grunts understand C++.
