Whether you’ve had years of experience or just starting out, Windows 7 training and certification resources are available to help you master the intricacies of deploying and maintaining Windows 7 systems in companies of all sizes.
A great way to start is by signing up to receive free Microsoft Press online book chapters about Windows 7. Chapters are from “Windows 7 Step by Step,” “Windows 7 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant,” and six other books. Learn more and sign up to receive Windows 7 chapters.
With extended support for Windows XP having ended and the expected release of the first Window 7 service pack in the coming weeks, it’s anticipated companies will start migrating their client systems to Windows 7. If you’ve been certified in Windows XP or Windows 2000, explore training, practice, and certification options for upgrading your Windows certification.
If you earned a Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) certification, you can now upgrade to a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) by taking just one exam: Exam 70-682: PRO: Upgrading to Windows 7 MCITP Enterprise Desktop Support Technician.
Here are some additional training and certification resources for Windows 7.

70-682, not an 70-680 ;)
Just above you wrote 70-680, but the correct is 70-682 like the link reference page.
Many thanks, good tips...
Let's Rock and update MCDST to MCITP
Sergie and Edson... thanks for noticing my error! The upgrade exam for MCDST is 70-682.
Re: "With extended support for Windows XP having ended ..."
Windows 7 is certainly worth 'getting up to speed' on, but to be accurate about Windows XP, extended support only ended for Windows XP SP2 on July 13, 2010. Windows XP SP3 extended support will continue until April 8, 2014.
I feel proud after reading this as I am already a MCTS on Windows 7
Is there any books, training materials...etc out yet?
can someone please explain to me how to update from MCIP Vista to windows 7
