Definitely what you need to pass the exam... - 2007-10-30
Reviewer Rating:
This book will give you all the information you need to pass exam 70-623. Actually, it will give you way more than that. I passed the exam easily and was even involved in an automobile accident on my way to the testing center. This shook-up West Virginian still passed the test. That gives a lot of credibility to this book. As a note to Microsoft, though they may never read this review, the exam was way too easy to be at the MCITP level. This should be an MCTS exam at best. All an easy exam like this does is make the other valid MCITP exams (like those for SQL Server, Windows Server 2008 [soon], and Windows Vista in the Enterprise) look bad.

In order to pass this exam, you will need to be able to troubleshoot the basic problems that a home user would experience. If you keep this in mind while you're reading the book and preparing for the exam, you'll do very well on the exam.

After you read through the book, take the practice exam on the CD. As you are going through the exam and thinking how easy it is, keep in mind that the exam is almost that easy too. If you know what's in this book, you will definitely pass the exam.

Best book for the exam - 2009-09-08

The book is packed with the essential knowledge one needs to pass the 70-623 exam. Usually a reviewer would recommend supplementing your test prep with additional study materials. Well, if you lack practical experience with Windows Vista I suggest augmenting your training with training videos or just using Vista as your primary OS. But if you just want to past exam 70-623 this single publication is sufficient to obtain a passing score.

Not As Comprehensive As IT Should Be - 2009-02-17

This book is a good foundational title, but another book would be a good idea to cover all of its weak areas.
