This was hidden away on MS's training area.

You can use your CompTIA security+ cert as a credit towards MCSA/MCSE certifications.

I bought a MCSE CBT a few weeks ago and it was thrown in there as a bonus. According to the material, I can pick that or Exchange 2k to fulfill the requirements (I also opted for the Microsoft security exam, so I can actualy do both, I guess...) I am rather leaning toward the Exchange exam, though...
