Thank you rcaper1. I do appreciate the fact that a lot of work has been done in developing and compiling this book. I hope that an errata to remedy any potential mistakes will not be needed. I already know it is standard practice with Microsoft exams to have more then one study guide. I would have breathed a sigh of relief If I knew that 'every' MS Press book I purchased would prepare me for an MS exam.. At any rate I thank you for the effort and I look forward to purchasing a copy. Cheers!

Rich - We put a lot of work into this edition, but please note that Training Kits are not intended to be your sole resource for passing the exam. We recommend that you round out your exam preparation plan by using a combination of available study materials and courses. For example, you might use the Training Kit and another study guide for your "at home" preparation, and take a Microsoft Official Curriculum course for the classroom experience. Choose the combination that you think works best for you.

I was told by a few MCTs that this was not getting re-released, so I went and bought a bunch of resources for 70-640 on Windows 2008 :(

I hope this is better then the first, and can actually be relied on as a sole needed source for passing the exam...
