MCSE Microsoft Windows XP Professional Readiness Review: Exam 70 270 (With CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: 700+ pages of stuff you already know
Review: This guide was the first I found on XP. If you haven't certified on a fairly recent MS OS, this might be of use to you, but do not stop with this book. If really just scratches the surface. Most of the topics covered in the book (it does cover the objectives in a superficial way) are things the 70-270 test takes for granted you know. If you are 2000 certified, you want something else more geared to the specific differences between XP and 2000. The guide does include specific additional reading, usually from the Resource Kit or the Knowledge Base, and many hands-on lab setups (you need a 2 or 3 pc network, with 2000 Server on one). Bottom line, I do not feel this is a very good book by itself for any experience level.
