We've temporarily removed the Windows Server 2008 roadmaps and will re-publish them in the near future.

MTA? Where does this certification fit in? I have never heard of it before.
This post was mentioned on Twitter by cfrandall: RT @MSLearning: Downloadable Microsoft Certification Paths Now Available! http://bit.ly/cvV2tX
Looks like MSL slipped up and either got the roadmaps entirely wrong, or leaked a new series of cert too early.
@jhelton: Time will tell. :-)
MTA - Microsoft Technology Associate? Entry level qualification perhaps?
Yeah you really need new level of certificates! LOL So far market hardly noticed MCTS/MCITP and you are introducing new product? Better bring back MCSA/MCSE 2008 . How could you destroy such valuable "product"/"brand"?
BTW I have seen and have cached those pdfs :)
Looks like it. Probably something along the line of a MS-centric Server+/Network+/Security+. My guess (from the exam numbers) is that it will related to the Microsoft IT Academies (education institutions rather than the general public).
Did a google search for "microsoft mta certification" and found the following from 1 month ago...

If you google the test numbers, there are Microsoft pages for two of them...

Interesting that they recommendation of having x years/months of experience with the topic is removed. Definitely looks like an entry-level thing.
