Microsoft has 2 new certification exams coming Feburary 2011: Silverlight 4 and Windows Azure.

Microsoft has just announced the availability of the beta exams for both of these products. The exams are available to be taken until November 17 and are FREE to take. Previously these were only going to be available at PDC, but you can now take the exam at your closest Prometric venue

They are a great way to see what type of content will be on the exams. If you have never taken a certification exam before then this is also a good inexpensive way to experience the exam process.
