>Well, I spoke to 2 more people on the phone, and they told me that Microsoft has discontinued accepting all 3rd party certifications except those from CompTIA. I was also informed that requests have been sent to the technical team to remove the CISSP, CISA, etc from the certification planner. I am vexed.

Arrrgh! Well, that's that I suppose. I hadn't heard that announcement. Sorry you had to be the one to flush it out. I had heard that they were not accepting any NEW 3rd party's, but not that they stopped accepting one's they already had.
It would seem to me there may be a "loophole" here that may be exploitable.
Wouldn't the real determining factor be the chronological sequence of these events:
[a] Completion of the MCSE.
[a] Completion of the CISSP.
[b] The completion date of the 70-298.
[c] The date on which Microsoft terminated acceptance of the CISSP.
If the requirements of the certification were de facto completed before Microsoft *announced* the changes, even though the candidate wasn't aware they had been met (by virtue of the CISSP), then all that really exists here is an =Administrative= error (the failure to record the CISSP), and the certification may actually be valid as of the completion date of the 70-298 (or the CISSP, whichever occurred later).
I wonder if people who earned MCSE-Security using CISSP will now have their certs removed?
I would hope not, any more than people who are still earning their MCSE(NT) are doing so because they're able to complete electives that still qualify for the MCSE(NT) cert, even though the NT core exams have been retired for almost eight years.
