Passed today with a 950.
Used the recommended sybex book and the training from the Microsoft offer. I also do a lot of testing with ESX and Hyper V. Also did a lot of labbing and researching technet.
I wish there was an official MS Press book.
Not an easy exam, but definitely doable.

I'm taking this test in a couple of weeks. A couple of more resources I'm using:
- Microsoft Virtual Academy - Free Microsoft Cloud Technologies Training
- For those registered as Microsoft Partners there's a lot of Hyper-V video training for free. Check courses 10936 through 10940
- Amazon.com: Mastering Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2
- Check Aidan Finn's blog. There's really good stuff about Hyper-V and SCVMM -

I've been practicing with Hyper-V Manager and VMM 2008 and soon VMM2012 (as soon as I can get it working).
Do I need experience with Citrix XenDesktop for the test? -

Where do you get the idea you may need Citrix? The objectives only mention VMware, and just from a management perspective. -

The VDI videos on the Microsoft Virtual Academy site keep mentioning it.
Edit: Plus all the time they spend on the V-Alliance. -
