 Go for it...
My advice -- Go For It now...
First -- the skills you learn can just be rolled into the new interface. The language is not going to change, and those individuals who know the advanced object management in VB will have the easiest time upgrading to .net.
Second -- if you wait, then you will be waiting a while. Study resources will be slow to show (quality resources), the exams will take even longer to appear and you will have wasted a lot of time that you could have spent learning the code.
Good luck, with your decision!

I cannot completely agree with SasiSan regarding the changes in language. The language has been changed. It looks now more like Java than VB. And as a fact you cannot take your old VB 6.0 code, recompile it in new IDE and get it running. As Microsoft says, they had to break thru to new level in technology and new languages are not completely backward compatible.
Regarding certification - now or later. I think you should do it now. New versions never end, you can wait forever. According to Microsoft, they will retire exams in December every year. VB 6.0 is not scheduled for retirement this year, so you have at least 1 year and 10 month...

Forms
Has anyone seen where they added the VB Forms into the vb.net platform. VB Beta 2? is out soon, not even the final beta yet. Even though I am starting to hear more about this every day (Microsoft is promoting) -- I have a stinking feel that the tests and certification stuff won't be out to next year...
