Not a well written book in my opinion
This book is not worth the paper it's printed on. After reading the first few chapters, I've come to the conclusion that the author assumed we readers who are preparing for the 70-649 exam are completely ignorant of Windows Server, as he wastes time explaining things we already know and gives a vague and undetailed review of the new features of Windows Server 2008. The book rambles on and on with many screenshots, but what it lacks is detailed information on the new features, leading me to believe that the author himself lacks clear knowledge in what he's writing about. This book fails to prepare the reader for the 70-649 and is a complete waste of time to read for seasoned MCSEs'. I'm waiting for Exam Cram to publish a book on the 70-649 exam because this book just didn't do it for me.
