New MCSA/MCSE are totally different thing as old Win2000-2003 MCSA/MCSE. Now those last letters mean Associate / Expert instead older Administrator / Engineer.
I think you should know it if you have had so much effort that you have achieved all those MCITP:s.

But I agree you on that it IS confusing. Try to explain that to your chief who is not very familiar about certifications, or in some job interview...
Like I am probably going to get new MCSE while I already have old MCSE.
My CV is gonna look like copy paste error! :P
