It would depend on your area of expertise in the IT industry, surely? Considering "072-626 - Consumer Sales Specialist" when you're a developer for example, would be a bit pointless.
 
i have done a few, and doing the technology specialist one in Windows7 will get you two qualifications if its a one of thing.

Don't even bother with SharePoint if you're not an IT pro or experienced .Net developer with experience in SharePoint, unless of course you like soiling yourself! :)

Most companies are looking to move to Windows 7 though.

What would you rather be doing, supporting an existing OS (service patches), or working on new platform rollouts?

*hint* the pay is better for new platform rollouts too.

Yeah i was thinking of something along the lines if the windows 7 ones. But there's configuring win7, deploying win7 and Office 2010 or Preinstalling for OEM's.

Yeah the config one looked better in my view. you will get two qualifications if you have not sat an exam before.
