Summary: Do Not Buy This Book
Review: Having used Sybex Study Guides in the past, I thought this book would be all I needed to pass the 70-271 exam. Boy, was I wrong.

The material presented in this book was not nearly in depth enough to properly prepare for the test. After reading this book and using all the resources available on the CD, there were questions on the exam that I was simply not prepared for.

If you must buy this book, get other materials to supplement it.

Sybex makes some really good study guides. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them.

Summary: By the Bar a round
Review: I can't believe they published this. The book must have been writted on cocktail napkins before being printed. Chapters are just tossed together, skipping some of the necessary information for the 70-271 exam. Review questions are asked 2 chapters before they are covered. Looking at MS objectives, which Bill forgot to do,the exam covers both Professional and Home versions. The book lacked the information dealing with XP home.
The 70-272 section of the book followed the same screwy format of the first.
The book is good for genereal reference but not good enough to for a study guide.
