Server 70-290
Just passed

Got a 771. I found the content of this exam far more extensive than the 70-270 exam. I used a mixture of the Sybex books and Transcenders. When I actually came to the exam, I found the questions of a similar nature, however it was much easier on the multiple-choice questions to eliminate obviously wrong answers. There was maybe only 1 question on which I had to completely guess.
I got lots of questions on command line utilities, backups, WSUS, hardware / network troubleshooting, auditing and permissions.
The 6 simulations i received covered {

I was surprised that I was not asked that much on TS or IIS, maybe 7 questions total.
If I was going to give any advice to anyone studying for the exam I have just taken, you do need to have a decent knowledge of everything, but permissions is where you need to know your stuff.
Onwards to the beast.

Congrats...I'm working my way backwards (I did 70-291 first, then 70-290, followed that up with 70-227 as an elective to get it in before it expired), and now I'm back to 70-270. Based on the size of the book and length of the CBT Nuggets, I was expecting 270 to be rougher than 290, which I didn't find that bad at all.

270 and 290 are roughly the same difficulty.
