I thought this was interesting from the recent Microsoft Learning email:

The Windows Server “Longhorn” certifications will be released in the new generation format of Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) and Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) credentials. There will not be a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) or Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) credential associated with Windows Server “Longhorn.”

Hmmm.  With Virtualization emerging as a skillset in hot demmand - I wonder if the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) will eventually be availabile in a Windows Server Virtualization flavour as well?

On a side note does anyone see the irony of me spelling virtualization with a ‘z’ but flavour with a ‘u’?
