I have no real complaints about this book, provided you are purely using it to pass the 70-620 exam. EVERYTHING you need to pass the exam is in this book. It fully covers the entire objectives, and will rarely miss out on required details.The book is a decent read as well, and the writing isn't overly dry like in some other MS Press books. I had no problem getting through the entire book and was consistently able to read several chapters in one sitting without dozing off from boredom. Its also very clear and concise, so I never found myself confused and wondering what the author(s) were saying.For those of you who want to "learn" Vista, or become better at using Vista.. I'd say that there are much better books for that. This book is meant to help you pass the 70-620 exam, and the material involved is in some nebulous region in between "average user stuff" and "power user stuff". Regular users will find this material a bit over their head, while IT pros will get very little out of it.Also, its worth noting that this is one of those rare cases where you don't really need more than one source of information. I didn't use any other books. The only thing you might want to do is set up a virtual machine and play around with Vista's control panel.Take your time reading through this book, perform the examples, and use the test questions. If you don't rush it and have thoroughly explored the control panel, you will pass.ABOUT THE TEST:The 70-620 exam has got to be one of the easiest exams I've ever taken in my entire life. The scope of the objectives is about as deep as a puddle, and the material covered is not exactly rocket science. Its almost like a test for power users, not IT professionals.
