You're right, they aren't on the list to be retired. Good to get your
information from the horse's mouth instead of listening to rumors.

However, mainstream support for SQL Server 2000 ends on April 8th,
2008 so don't be suprised if these two tests do pop up on the list of
retiring exams soon. Microsoft usually gives at least several months
notice before retiring an exam, but if you want to take these exams
now's the time.
Watching Monster.com, I've noticed a definite shift in database
administrator and database developer jobs requiring knowledge of SQL
Server 2005 instead of SQL Server 2000. Almost every one that
mentions Microsoft, mentions SQL Server 2005 as a desired skill. If
an employer isn't requiring you to get your MCDBA on SQL Server 2000,
you might like to pursue the MCITP certifications instead of the MCDBA
certs. They will be valuable to you for a lot longer than the MCDBA on
SQL Server 2000.

I have read a few posts that state these exams are being retired on 31st
March. The info pages for the individual exams, the MCDBA, and the Retired
list all say nothing about it.
Any ideas?
