Nailed these two exams today! Started with the 298 first, figured I'd get that bugger out of the way, ended up with 848. Took a 15 minute break to refill my lungs 
, then sat down for the 299. Walked away with a 902! Both exams were pretty straight forward - all multiple choice, no sims or drag 'n drops!
It is finally good to be an MCSE:S!!!!! While it may seem that I finished this process fairly quickly, I actually started back in May of '07. Let's just say that I had a hard time keeping myself motivated, and was easily distracted!!! I just made up my mind that I was going to get it done this year and really put my nose to the grindstone. I cut out all TV and and studied for at least three hours just about everyday. If I couldn't be at a computer, I'd be reading a book (On a raft in the pool ) I used the MS Press books, ExamCram books, TestOut, CBT Nuggets, Virtual Lab and last but not least - Transcenders. When I first got started and passed an exam, i would take a break for a week or so. Now, I am addicted. I am usually working on my next exam while doing final review for the one I am about to take!!!! So I actually started watching Trainsignal videos for the 70-649 exam a few days ago.
See you guys in the MCITP forums!!!!

70-647 - In Progress
70-649 - Soon.
Aren't you technically an MCSE:S though?
Would you consider the 299 significantly harder than the 298?
I thought that it was easier because all of the information is in the question rather than in the case study.
Take the 299, its not that hard. Some of the material will be familiar from 291 and 293. I can send you labs on 299, if you want.
