If you are studying for the MCP exam this is a good start but beware, despite claims from Microsoft, this is not all you'll need. At minimum you'll also need the Windows 98 Resource Kit in order to learn info needed to pass the exam. Interestingly, if you buy the Micorosft exam prep package it even refers you to the resource kit for information on many of the questions. Do yourself a favor and buy both books at the same time.

Microsoft Press have kept up their tradition of a difficult-to-follow-in-places book-and-cdrom set, which is designed mainly for people studying for MCP 70-098, like myself. With the practice exams anyway (I have not yet sat the real exam) I found that I needed suppliments to it - mainly the Resource Kit. It makes you wonder if this is some conspiracy from MS to make us buy...

The Book is fine. As the others have said it's not enough, but close if you use the review book. The CD does not work with Internet Explorer 5.0.

Yes, enjoyable learning. Fearsome though this concept may be, I found that I enjoyed studying this book. From desktop customization to registry management and beyond, Windows 98 Training Kit does indeed provide you with the basics for completion of the 70-098 exam. It even covers concepts such as Win32 driver model and core system components. The brief chapter on Win98 architecture was somewhat vague and slightly overwhelming at first, but with some thought and study, and help from the Resource Kit, I managed to get it figured out. As for the rest of the book, the implementation of Windows features is covered in a fairly straightforward manner. I would recommend purchasing the Windows 98 Resource Kit concurrently, as, despite its awe-inspiring girth (nearly twice the size of the Training Kit!), it makes the perfect supplement for your studies. Besides, you're buying these to get professional certification, right? Why not know it all?

This MS Press book is not like the old press books. To my suprise I found a "Prep guide" in the front which was 100% of the prep guide on the WEB site. I took the Beta exam and this book was enough to wade through the questions with ease. I did however find a few errors but nothing that would throw anyone with understanding of the product off course.

This is an excellent book for the candidates appearing for their mcp's and wanting to test thier fake in the beta exam.this book provides all the necessary items to be completed by the mcps,but he thing is, not all books provide all.The Pre-reqisite is builiding a self-confidence all proceed all with your efforts.Success is on the road,which is visible to you.For instance this is book is good. thanking you
