 70-620 Vista Client - Great Starting Point April 13, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I found this book to be a great starting point for those IT professionals looking to become familiar with Microsoft's latest operating system - Vista.
This book was *not* written for the end user community. It strictly focuses on exam material and supporting Vista as an IT professional. It does an excellent job on introducing all the different flavors of Vista. In addition I feel it did a good job explaining all of the new features.
Prior to reading this book I felt lost when working on Vista; since I have completed the book and lessons, I feel totally comfortable working in the Vista environment.
Not too many cons here: I did feel the book at certain points failed to fully distinguish between what features where in each edition. For example, Chapter 12 discusses creating a Complete PC Restore and leaves the reader with the opinion that all editions of Vista supports it when only Business and Ultimate do. The other big con was the book did not come with an evaluation copy of Vista like previous MS Press training kits.
Overall, if you support Vista and want to get to know it better and/or you are planning on taking the 70-620 exam, then get this book!
Straight forward for the 70-620 test April 10, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you've read other MS Press books, then this is no different. The book is very straight forward on the features of Vista and what is required for you to know on the Microsoft test. The included practice test on the CD-ROM is HIGHLY recommended. All I can say is that the practice test is very close to the actual test and covers the book really well. If you can nail the practice test, then you should have no problems passing the actual test.
I did pass the 70-620 exam because of this book.

Good exam preparation material March 13, 2008

This book will prepare you very well for the exam. The authors made a very good job. This book + some time using Vista are the only 2 sources you need to pass the test.
Excellent study material for the exam January 18, 2008
I used this book to study for the 70-620 exam and passed. This book was my primary study tool; the only other things I used to study were practice exams that I found online. The reason I did not give it 5-stars, however, was because of the CD. The CD contains practice exams on it, and after I went through a whole practice exam, it just crashes when I have it grade it. I tried it again a few days later, and again, the software crashed as it was time for it to grade. Maybe it was just conflicting with something on my computer, but I figured I'd let it be known in case its not only me.
