That doesn't seem to make sense. There are several exams that are listed as
electives for both the MCSA and the MCSE, and they all can be "reused". In
fact, I believe that the only thing you have to do to "upgrade" an MCSA
(Win2003) to an MCSE (Win2003) is take the two extra core exams (70-293,
70-294), and one of the two design exams (70-297 or 70-298).

Makes sense or not. You CANNOT use any CompTIA credential but Security+
as an elective for an MCSE.

Okay.. so point me to a *Microsoft* published reference at microsoft.com that explicitly states this as fact.


The page that is on the Australian site is exactly the same one as used
to be on the main US site.

Australian sites don't mean squat in the U.S.

Do you think it is different just for an Australian MCSE?

It could be!

Also, in case you hadn't noticed, there's a *LOT* of information that's still posted on the "Australian" site that's long since been removed from the U.S. site, including links for eval copies of Win2003; so, to be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about anything currently posted on a Microsoft-Australia site.
