Anyone have a GIAC/SANS certification? In the past I know they used to be taken online, but now there site is saying something about 100% proctored exams.

I don't hold the cert, but it does look like they are only proctored now. Hey, good news it is open book!

Do you have any Vista certs yet? I'm taking my 70-620 & 70-623 next week. Hopefully I'll get my MCITP next week! XP was easy, and Vista is supposed to be a lot easier on the 70-620 exam.

By proctored I assume that means I will need to go somewhere and have someone watch me take the test? That basically means its a lot harder now, since before it was basically open google as well as book. . I'm just getting started on my certs and trying to decide the path I want to go. So many options...
