Those are both great, so I will assume this book is too. Vista Client book This book arrived promptly and is a good book to study for those who want to be certified as MCTS-Vista Client. I'm almost done studying it and plan to take the test within a month. I highly recommend this for a study book,and would suggest other additional study aids to supplement this book. Great This book is an awesome resource for passing the exam. Read the book cover to cover and took the practice tests. Scored a 950 on the real test. Covers everything in detail for passing the test. But for advanced windows vista stuff, this book is not it. The test had simulation questions, the practice test didn't have any. All in all, if you're looking for a resource to pass the test, this book is it. Will get you certified.....Little dull to read I read through the book, did all the exercises and practice exams, and blam certified MCP and MCTS. Compared to sybex, this book is little dull. But it does the job, if you read through the entire book you will become certified. It even has a 15% voucher discount which is cool. Great book, especially for up and coming IT Pros. If you are taking the 70-620 or want to know about Vista stop reading reviews and buy this book now.
Are you considering taking a class at a local college for the 70-620? Buy this book. I personally believe that there are way too many instructors that teach to what they know rather than what you should know. This book will include everything that you should know for success on the 70-620.
The book looks intimidating as it is huge, but once I began reading this, I was surprised how easily I was able to read through two chapters at a time.
Whether you are an IT veteran or newbie you will find value in this book for the exam. The author provides tips, examples and real world insight throughout the book that are useful and entertaining. I believe the MS Press certification prep books are designed in a similar manner, if you find this book enjoyable, do not hesitate to buy a large bundle such as the MCSE 2003 preps.
Are you an Experienced IT Pro? I suggest buying this book, reading it, paying attention to new features and information that you may not be familiar with such as parental controls or media applications. After passing the exam, give this book to your spouse or your buddy that refers to you as "technical support" and tell them to get lost. Simply that investment will be well worth the cost of the book!
This book provides any fundamental and necessary information regarding Vista. The labs and exercises are helpful and are similar to those found on the 70-620 exam.
I am glad I read through this book as it provided me with the knowledge to pass the 70-620 and fulfill the client requirement for the MCSE as well as obtain the MCTS.
