Not sure what's up with that. Looks like the mods want to hide it for themselves.

Maybe because he was a FNG. It is 110% legit and should probably be a Sticky.
I asked fuzz_64 the question earlier and it's a great offer from M$ with no strings attached. Hopefully fuzz heard about the offer and took advantage of it.

Take advantage of our Second Shot offer and get a free retake if you do not pass an IT professional or developer Microsoft Certification exam the first time. You must take both the first and (if necessary) the retake exam before June 30, 2010.
It's a nice safety net and could save people money. It alleviates a little pressure too.

I had to register and obtain the voucher code
before I scheduled and paid for the test. A Prometric rep told me about it on the phone, so I hung up and called back later. I waited for the rep to ask the second time around and he didn't. I had to tell him I had it.

Don't miss out!
