I guess Micrsoft wised up at the last minute. This is a copy of an e-mail newsletter I received late last night:

>(10/11/01) - Cramsession has learned that Microsoft will make a
>public announcement today that will radically change the shape
>of its existing certification program.
>
>The biggest bombshell: MCSEs certified on the Windows NT 4.0
>track will NOT be de-certified after December 31, 2001, as was
>previously indicated. Instead, Microsoft is going to recognize
>two distinct MCSE categories: "MCSEs on Microsoft Windows 2000"
>and "MCSEs on Windows NT 4.0".
>
>Microsoft is also introducing a new certification, the
>Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, or MCSA. A new
>Microsoft exam is being created for this certification track,
>Exam 70-218, Managing a MS Windows 2000 Network Environment.
>
>Here is a list of the valid certifications that will be
>recognized by Microsoft under its new certification policy:
>
>* MCSE on Windows 2000
>* MCSE on Windows NT 4.0
>* MCDBA on SQL Server 2000
>* MCSD
>* MCSE+I on Windows NT 4.0
>* MCP+I on Windows NT 4.0
>* MCP+Site Building
>* MCP
>
>Microsoft is also extending the deadline for Microsoft Certified
>Trainers (MCTs) to achieve their "MCSE on Windows 2000". MCTs
>will now have until May 1, 2002 to get their Win2K MCSEs. This
>deadline was originally set for December 31, 2001.
