if im not mestaken Whislter is replacing Win ME, which will leave the MCSE tracks largly un affected. It had better, im getting realy tired of MS changin the rules on me!

You are mistaken...look at this URL
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/whistler
Windows Whistler Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server and they are now talking about a home version...this is their updated OS replacing Win2000! (?)
Will we have to upgrade to MCSE2001?
Can anyone help relieve this anxiety?

What I'm hearing from insiders is that MS is still going to try and converge the NT and 9x OS's into one. Whether or not that's a smart, useful or necessary thing to do, I'll let wiser heads decide. But, I really can't believe that Whistler is going to be SO different that another version of MCSE is going to come out with it. I'm hoping it'll be an upgrade course add-on ....but, I have this image of MS sitting back, wondering how much more money they can make from us by forcing an entire MCSE track change. For example, locally, it's almost impossible to buy W98 anymore. Although I'm a fan of both ME [home system] and W2K Pro [at work], MS has decided to push ME on the public, ready or not. NT4 is being forced out of existance. Never underestimate what people will make you do to increase their revenues! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against making money, but the sheer number of various upgrades and the unusually short time between them make me a little suspicious.
