Summary: Good book for 70-080
Review: Comparred with some books are about 700 pages, within 300+ pages, this book covers Exam pretty well and a lot of good practice exams with pretty good explainations as well as ALERT points. If you want a book to pass 70-080 Exam. I think you should consider this one. Personally, I like this book.

Summary: Beware of Sample Test 2!
Review: The book isn't bad...it covers the material pretty well and maintains good readability, which isn't easy on such "dry" subjects.
But apparently the layout of Sample Test #2 was changed, but the publisher neglected to change the answer key and answer explanations accordingly. For example, question 3 mates up with answer 5, and question 5 mates up with answer 3.
And there are a couple of spots where the Practice Questions in one chapter conflict with the text in another chapter. An example there is where the text says all license types can use multiple-floppy distribution, while the question on the same topic in another chapter says ISPs cannot use multiple floppy, and practice exam 1 says ISPs *can* use multiple floppy, but Corporate Admins cannot.
Those errors are not to disparage the work as a whole, but there are some significant quirks that make this difficult to consider a sole source of material.
