If you want a fast track to get at least one certification October 15, 2008
If you want a fast track to get at least one certification, this is for you. Quick concise and easy to follow.
Note, the subject is a bit dry.
 All you need....book pays for itself September 10, 2008
This book is all you will need to pass this test. The book comes with a CD full of practice questions, which are very similar to the test. The book even comes with a %15 off voucher for the exam....so it basically pays for itself.
70-602 Configuring Vista September 9, 2008
Excellent training book covering the necessary information to pass the Microsoft certification or for general knowledge of Windows Vista. The book is great, despite having a few typos and some technical errors. The practice test are very helpful, but full of technical mistakes, such as asking for one thing, but the answer being the opposite of what was requested.
70-620 Configuring WIndows Vista Client August 29, 2008
This is a review for the 70-620 book. I took the classes 5115 and 5116 from Microsoft. These classes alone would not have been enough to pass the 70-620 test. I don't know if the book alone would have been enough to pass either. I found the book well written enough. There were a few typos and I've seen lots of other reviews saying how the information in the book was inaccurate, however I did not find this to be the case. I spent every free moment I had studying the book and was through it in about 1 week. Give your self plenty of time to go through the book and do all the practice stuff. The practice tests were "ok" at best. Here is where I found inaccurate information. The tests clearly need some updating because they were marking answers wrong that I know were correct. All in all it was a good study guide. I honestly don't think that I could have passed the 70-620 test with out it, but I'm not sure if this was my *only* source if I would have passed the test. Good luck!
This was a great tool. August 28, 2008
I have been in the industry for awhile now, but never bothered getting any of my certs. Also I didn't have any hands on with Vista before getting this book.
I was reading a smaller white/red/black book that helps you study for the 70-620. Went halfway through it before I received this one in the mail and it didn't really help me very well. This book had a lot more information.
The book itself has some typos and 1 of the questions says what "can't" this do, and when you put the stuff it can't do it marks it wrong and marks the answers of what it "can" do. I apologize but I don't remember the exact question.
Also the prep test wouldn't install on the Vista Business I was running. I had to use it on my XP machine.
I didn't do any of the exercises. I just read an average of 1 chapter per day and did the practice tests on the CD. I passed my test with a 907. I learned quite a bit from reading this book and it was the reason I passed my test. My co-workers made a big deal of the exam and how hard it was, but I found the test was very easy and this book prepared me for it.
I recommend this for anyone who wants to pass the exam.
