Hum ... Mauricio, You don't need to upgrade the certification if you have a VB/VC6++ version, microsoft changed their terms of certification
You don't need the MCSD.NET certification for nothing , unless you are trying to showoff your skills to apply to a new job ...
In the past i was a MCSD with VB5 and sql 6.5 , then i lost it  , but my actual company pays me the exams... eh eh , so i taked and passed the designing and implementing ... sql2000 and the 2 VC6++ exams and i'll take the 70-100 shortly, i think ... i waiting since the beginning of February to take the bloody exam  .
A note, you don't need to pay a fortune for the certification  , you only need to pay the exams if your company doesn't support it. Exists a
established way of passing MS Certification exams , called Braindumps , making many dumb and stupid guys earn something more money than the competent ones , make the MCSD a bad joke ...
I studied very hard to pass the exams and i have 3 years of professional experience programming VB/VC++(including MFC, COM and ATL), i don't like a kid of 13 years to take all 4 exams with high marks(real case) , only because he did known the questions and the answers ...
I can't give you the link for this sites(they're well know, i think), but if you search the WEB with the MCSD and Braindump , you will find these teasers.
If you have already have the VB/VC6++ exams , then the lamer thing to do is waiting on this sites to the Q & A on last trimester of 2002 ,since the exams will enter beta in April/May ...
Why don't you show off your games , i think it's pretty good publicity ,
Não te preocupes muito com a certificação, mostra os teus conhecimentos técnicos, que as pessoas vão reconhecer o teu trabalho, não é por causa de um papel que te vão rejeitar.
Nota: Em Portugal, onde trabalho, a certificação em MCSD não te dá praticamente vantagem nenhuma a não ser que tenhas mais de um 1/2 anos de experiencia professional, e mesmo assim ... , e ah ajuda sim à empresa que te contrata para ficar Microsoft Certified Partner, sem benficios nenhuns para ti 
Um abraço e continua a fornecer jogos para este site espectacular

Precisas mesmo de ter a certificação ? Se precisas digo-te que tanto o
MCSD e o MCSD são fáceis de tirar -> tenho um amigo meu(MCSE Windows 2000 track) que entrou na
Microsoft portuguesa e ficou lá por causa disto:
www.braindumpcentral.com e disto
www.mcsebraindumps.com
Ambos os sites têm digamos questões parecidas com os exames MCSD e MCSE. Ele não comprou livro nenhum nem testes nenhuns nem tem grau universitário,desitistiu no 1ª ano e estudou sempre na véspera do exame ...
Tu devias procurar algo te realizasse profissionalmente e partir à luta ...,
eu por exemplo adoro c++ (na área de sistemas distribuidos), é aquilo me faz ter gozo realmente em programar, e neste momento estou à 4 meses num projecto de 6 meses em TCL(linguagem script tipo perl), javascript e html e mal posso esperar que a minha empresa me mande de volta ao meu c++, já tou a desesperar, se não me enviarem para outro projecto que tenha c++, nem que seja em unix , vou-me embora e procurar um emprego que me dê realmente gozo Yack! Yack!
Não te amoleças rapaz e luta pelos teus gostos !
Um abraço do portuga ,

Actually, while learning is always a Good Thing, there might be a point of diminishing returns with certifications, etc. Admittedly, living in the US I'm ignorant of the job market realities in Brazil, but here in the States I've found that the primary thing employers care about are, "Do you know what you're doing with this technology, and can you meet the deadlines?". I have no college, no certifications (and probably a serious lack of common sense), but I haven't missed a meal in 12 years of working in this biz.
I think the comments about your games were well said. I do in fact put personal projects on my resume if they demonstrate experience with a technology. Of course, I also have a Far Side cartoon at the bottom of my resume. They may love me or they may hate me, but they always remember I was there...
In any event, most programmers excel in the technical, but never spend near as much time learning the skills that they need to navigate the corporate world and market themselves. It may not be right and it may not be fair, but more often than not the person who gets the job is not necessarily the most technically adept, but the one who knew how to play the game.
"But I'm a programmer - I shouldn't have to deal with marketing and politics!" True enough, I suppose, but irrelevant just the same. This is the business world. Logic doesn't apply.

You shouldn't have worry about this for some time.
http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/mcp/mcad/compare.asp
According to this page there will be two levels of cert, MCAD and MCSD, but the exams are not scheduled to be released until June 2002, one isn't available until February 2003.
I'm looking forward to renewing my cert, I have found it a good way to learn the new technologies and tools. I have also personally found it to be of benefit for job searching. I have gotten at least two contracts because of it. I had an interview last week where I noticed the person had that part of my resume highlighted and said that they were looking for someone with MCSD.

Guys
This was my idea. Yesterday when someone in the lounge asked about some MCSD stuff, I stated that it would be nice to have a forum just for this.
Chris M, I demand to be recognized for my idea

Come on Chris, you've been here for god knows how long now and you still don't know the average member has a custom web spider that trolls every page on CP for anything that has changed since the last check (usually every two minutes or so) and pages the information straight to their cell phone, whilst automatically loading the page on their laptop so by the time they have received the message they are all ready to go.
Let the truth be told, I think it was Isaac that told me he had seen the new forum, and so I hoped over and posted my short message whilst he was no doubt typing out a masterpiece of cunning and wit. Let even more truth be known that I was crossing my fingers after I posted the message to check it was first... 
Chris, you have created a monster!

Another thing I thinkg Chris learnt a long time ago is not to respond to each individual comment made to him. What can we expect when the poor guy gets thousands of times more e-mail daily then I get in a week.

Some fun stats for you: Last Monday when I finally got the hotel net connection up (after being offline for 3 days) I had 2,579 emails arrive. The next day saw another 777 (nice number) arrive. Overnight last night around 280 emails came in.
That's a lotta emails
And for the record, it was Bryce Burrows who finally tweaked me to add this forum
