I have just found Windows 7 Feature Walkthroughs and I think a week of intense Windows 7 fun I might go book this one up for the 30th. With the NDA you agreed to in mind, how did the Windows 7 exam compare to the Windows Vista exam?

A couple of tips would be to learn HomeGroups, DirectAccess, Bitlocker/Bitlocker to go. That's about all I can remember. I will have a think about it overnight and come back to you!

stupidboy wrote: » Q. What is Charter Member certification?A. Charter Members are the pioneering group of individuals who achieve a certification shortly after the certification becomes available. When a Charter Member certification is offered, it is available to candidates who achieve the new certification within six months after the certification exam is released. Charter Members are recognized by receiving the Charter version of the certificate. I guess shortly after the certification becomes available means release rather than beta.

Trying to juggle work/study/life is a tedious balance. I got the CBT nuggets videos for 70-640 today so I want to take a look at them tomorrow.
