This book is designed to be a training tool for the new Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist certification. Specifically written as a Microsoft Official Academic Course, it is designed to give you all the tools to pass the certification exam 70-620. This book is easily accessible. I saw students who had never touched Vista become experts in a few short weeks.

The material in this book is not only useful, it is also presented in a very pleasing fashion, with lots of screen shots, hit and tip boxes, colour-coded charts and more. Each chapter begins with the objective matrix for the chapter, then outlines the new terms or key terms introduced in the chapters. After that comes the meat of the chapter, then a Summary Skills Matrix which reviews what you should have learnt and what you should be able to do having completed the chapter. Then there is a knowledge assessment section with fill- in-the-blank, T/F and then some in-depth answer questions. Finally, there are some case scenarios to apply your knowledge.

Zacker writes in a very accessible and easy-to-read manner. His prose is excellent and the way he presents his material makes it easier to learn and apply. This book is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of Vista or preparing to write their certification exam.
