New generation of Microsoft Certifications

Nigel blogged about the new generation of Microsoft Certifications here. It's interesting that they are becoming more focused on skills ...etc

This presents me with a wee problem though, I am currently studying for MCAD and am not too far from sitting the first exam.

Now the question is, should someone like me go through the entire 03 MCAD certificate or should I do the first exam and then start focusing on the new generation stuff??

I think I will go for both! Is that a good thing to do, what do you guys think?

Do the MCAD while it is still available, then do the single upgrade exam to the new version. That way you end up with both. Even though they basically mean the same thing.
The new exams are not released yet, but my guess is they won't be a lot different (despite the claim of "more focus on specific technology"), i think they will probably use the adaptive method of testing rather than the method used now.

Dude, what's with the comments? Are you removing them, or are they somehow disappearing into thin air?

No I'm not removing anything. Why is it do you ask? You're previous comment on this post is showing. Did anything else get eaten out?
