After the lengthy pilot period, Microsoft has announced a limited rollout of the performance-based lab version of 70-640: MCTS: Windows Server 2008, Active Directory Configuration for 2009 (formerly 70-113).

Right now it’s only being made available in English. And I can’t find this info on the website at the moment, so don’t quote me, but someone-who-heard-it-from-someone-who-heard-it-from said that it will debut in Ireland, Singapore, and Canada. (No word yet on when it will be released in the rest of the world, or in non-English languages.)

Word is that Sun and Oracle are developing on their own performance-based lab tests. Cisco, of course, has offered simulation exams for years, but they might be adding some emulation environments as well.

It’s very exciting, y’all.

See you on the other side of Turkey Day!
