4 out of 5 stars All one needs for the 70-620 exam   November 16, 2008
The 70-620 exam was my first attempt at a microsoft certification. I succedeed, basically only preparing for it with this book.
Of course, a PC running windows vista is necessary in order to gain some hands on experience, although not all of the suggested practices (if any) are really necessary.
The really odd thing about this preparation kit is the fact that the included exam practice software does not run under vista (in my case, vista ultimate x64). I simply used a virtual machine running xp, but still, this annoyance is quite bizarre, to say the least.



4 out of 5 stars 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.



5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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.



4 out of 5 stars 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!
