 Does not include Vista evalauation software .... July 28, 2007
5 out of 20 found this review helpful
I cannot speak as to the quality of this book's content because I just received it this morning. However, I based my decision to purchase it becuase the graphic of the front cover shows "Evalauation software included." Be advised this is not the case; the enclosed CD contains practice exams, etc., etc. You will still need to find a copy of Vista in order to work through examples in this book. The ISBN of my book is 0-7356-2390-2. I am disappointed since the eval software was the main reason I purchased this title.
Good book but not good for certifications.. July 19, 2007
Covers all you need to know about Vista, at a basic level, but the 70-620 test is completely different than most of the stuff that the book points out as focal points for the examination. I would estimate that about 50% of the stuff in this book is relevant to the test, but 100% relevant to the real world. The flaw is in the examinations not the book!
Good Book for passing the MCTS 70-620 Exam July 17, 2007

I used this book and only this book to pass the 620 Exam. First off, it's a first edition book and there are some errors in the book (words ran together, capital letters in the middle of words) and using the measureUP! software I found at least 5 questions that marked me as wrong but they were correct.
However, this should NOT stop you from passing the 620 Exam, this book goes into enough detail so you can pass the exam.
Another reviewer wrote that it's not for the I.T. Pro....and it's NOT. This is for the test, the test is titled "Configuring Windows Vista Client."
If you want to learn the kernel debugger, use Group Policies, learn how to setup an image of Vista, this is NOT the book for you and the title CLEARLY states that.
However, this book is good for passing 70-620 and I passed it in two weeks with an 815. I would have given the book five stars but being a first edition and having some errors, it will need to be fixed.
Overall: Buy this book if you want to become MCTS certified, or you are looking to get your MCSE before the tracks expire (for 2003). This test counts towards the client portion of the MCSE.
 I passed 70-620 MCTS exam with this book! July 11, 2007
I bought this book 48 hours ago. I passed the MCTS 70-620 Configuring Vista Client exam today! Enough Said. Use the CD-ROM practice test. The exam questions were very very similar to the CD-ROM questions. Beyond having Vista Ultimate installed on my PC and laptop I had no previous Vista experience. Buy this book, study, and you will pass the test.
Great book to pass the 70-620 July 9, 2007

I never used Vista until reading this book and within 2 weeks I passed the exam with a 884. If you want more active dir. information I think that the 70-622 and 70-623 covers more of that but not sure and the books arent even out yet.
THANKS ORIN
