    I've noticed it says in the link below "At least one of these certifications are prerequisite for this exam. Without that, your transcript will show that you passed the exam but will not show credit for the resulting certification." So what doest the upgrade path translates to If I have MCITP Virtualization Administrator on 2008 I will get the same thing on 2012 or what? Something like MCSA Virtualization administrator on server 2012

    As an entry-level certification, the new MCSA certifications are similar to the earlier MCTS certifications.

    This is not correct.  A MCTS certification is 1 exam whereas the MCSA requires multiple exams.  MCSA is more like MCITP and the new MCSE certification is more like MCITP+ (i.e. it's a expert level certification).

    I don't see the point here you upgrade a more ore less senior certification like the ones below to a junior? Its like you upgrade your windows server 2003 MCSA to MCTS.

    • MCSA: Windows Server 2008
    • MCITP: Virtualization Administrator
    • MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator
    • MCITP: Lync Server Administrator
    • MCITP: SharePoint Administrator
    • MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Administrator

    At least one of these certifications are prerequisite for this exam.
