ince I work for a training company and maintain this website I decided that I should look into updating my certifications for Vista. As I always like to be prepared for the exams I am going to take I usually try to read two books that are dedicated to the training and then work on some practice exams. In looking for the books I have found that most will not be released until May 2007, even the MS Press book, which is kind of puzzling since the exam went live in Jan. I could see some of the 3rd party resources having to wait till the exam went live to make sure that they could be sure to cover everything they needed to but MS Press I would think would have some kind of direct access to the exam team to release when the exam released.

Currently I can only find E-learning courses that are available on Microsoft for self paced learning. More information can be found at MCTS: Windows Vista, Configuration. The current cost to take all the E-learning classes through Microsoft is around $592 but the three collections of courses will cover everything you need to know for the cert. The following areas need to be learned to pass the 70-620 certification:
