In accordance with the Microsoft Environmental Initiative and its goals to reduce carbon footprint, Microsoft is transitioning to digital-only Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certificates. The digital certificates are available today in PDF or XPS at https://www.mcpdigitalcert.com/.
Orders for MCP Certification Welcome Kits will discontinue on June 30, 2009. After that, if you require a paper certificate, you may order one beginning July 7, 2009, through the MCP member Web site (costs will apply).
Poor new MCPs… I still have my MCP Welcome Kit, with its ID card, pins and Bill Gates signed certificate…
