Do I get in trouble if I am using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 with my studybook MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit 70-680 and / or the Exam 70-680 ?

ADD>I like the practical tests :)

You have to have another book or keep checking online to make sure the statements from this book are correct b/c of the tons of errors. You won't be able to finish most of the exercises b/c of the errors. I hate this book. Don't use this book only for your test, you will fail.

This book helped me pass the exam. I really didn't notice too many errata aside from the typical typos found in most publications. Included practice test provided decent examples for questions on the actual exam - only not near the level of difficulty. Also, beware on the exam they will require you to know intimately the differences between XP and 7. Author did point that out but didn't spell out each and every difference, which would have been nice but might have made the book an extra 100 pages longer. So all in all, this book provides excellent study material and hits all the key points tested on the exam.

Good luck!

This book is so full of mistakes it's untrue. Just check the pdf of amendments, there are 85 pages of them. I was banging my head against a brick wall for hours wondering why some of the practical examples didn't work, now I know it's because nobody bothered to proof read it. Over 10% of the pages contain mistakes... got to ask yourself why this went to print in such a state.

If you are truely interested in Windows 7, I would suggest you opt for Windows 7 resource kit. If your intent is to prepare for the certification exam, despite the errata length - this is an excellent preparation resource.

This book contains so many errors, that's a shame.
No wonder the errata is THAT long.

Does Microsoft can not efford some quality assurance?

Well I have just finished this book and I must admit going from Microsoft press books from 5 years ago I was expecting to need a lot of gaps to be filled in with other material but I was presently surprised.

After reading through the book doing the examples and taking the practice questions I am pretty confident that this will equate to an exam pass in a few weeks.

I purchased this book to help me pass the Windows 7 client exam and pass the exam I did. After reviewing (and performing most) of the practice exercises and test questions and after reviewing those parts of Windows 7 that were new to me (like BranchCache) I took the exam and got a score above 800! This book is aimed at a specific exam so does not go into everything about Windows 7 that I wanted to know. This is okay as it is fairly clear from the title what topics the book will address.
