MCPD now

I got my results for the exams 547-9 today. I passed all 3. That makes me a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer - Windows Developer. It should be a few times over (Web Developer and Enterprise Applications Developer too), but I didn't sit 528 in beta. So I'll either sit that this week and get it out of the way, or I'll wait for the results in my upgrade exams, which will mean I won't need it. MCDBA next I think.
