This is a great reference for anyone who supports Win '95 or plans to take the MCSE exam. It is basic enough for people new to '95, yet in depth enough for system admins and power users. I found it to be long in reading it cover-to-cover, but it is not meant to be read that way unless you plan to take the exam. It was my only reference for the exam, and I passed it easily on my first attempt. I hope the NT Self-Study Kit is as well written..

This book and CD set is an well-designed and effective study guide for the Implementing and Supporting Windows 95 MCP exam (70-63). I passed the test a comfortable 60 points over the passing grade after studying the guide thoroughly. I also learned a tremendous amount about Windows 95 internals, and the set will now serve as an excellent reference work. My only criticism is that it could use a few more multimedia files. They were very helpful in explaining abstract concepts such as memory and scheduling, and not all the topics that needed them had multimedia presentations

For many, this would be the single most helpful tool to prepare for the 70-064 certification exam. Although highly informative, I find all the Microsoft Press study materials boring. The saving grace are the entertaining CD-ROMs that round out the package. However, my opinion is based on my style of preparation so I gave this study tool a high rating because the material will satisfy the needs of the masses.

I used this kit along with the Sam's Windows 95 in 14 days to pass exam 70-064 and achieve my MCP!! Microsoft Press did a great job on this kit!! Write me if you like for more in-depth details!

The CD was especially helpful in my studies to pass the MCSE Win 95 exam, which was very challenging. You still need to know a lot about NT server that isn't covered in this book thoroughly, so I recommend taking that test first if you're going for your MCSE. I think this is one of the better MS Press offerings.

This is a spendy purchase but worth it. The CD-ROMs are great too. Everything you need for 70-063 is in there. Two volumes crammed with everything you ever wanted to know about 95. A bit fluffy but the info is there to be learned. You'll be that much better am MCP when you are done anyway.

I found this training course to be from the highest standard. I used all lessons within this bookset and I was able to finish my Microsoft Certification. And go on to a better job. Hopefully the Windows 98 will be as good.

This new training kit is a exceptional value over the previous (non-deluxe) edition which sold for the same price. The new Deluxe Multimedia Edition includes 1200 pages of "everything you ever wanted to know about" Windows 95. The training kit is focused on preparing you to take and pass the MCP/MCSE exam and pass. For the most part the books do a good job, but contain a lot of "fluff" that you won't need for the exam (but may need in "on-the-job" usage). I studied the these books then studied a "exam-prep" book (Sam's Teach yourself....in 14 days by M. Barton) to narrow my focus for the test. It worked, I passed and I have a great reference for my bookshelf.

What really makes this title a great value is the CD-ROM training from NETg. It is like having two types of training (written and interactive) in one box! I'm sure the NETg training would cost this much or more by itself! Plus, you could utilize the CD-ROM training in the future for training others. I use it over my companies intranet. Check this title out if you are planning to take the exam, while the price is more than some other prep titles, the value is well worth it.

Exams 70-063 and 70-064 are being retired at the end of the year and you want to take them before then. You need a great set of resources in order to make sure you pass the exams and now Microsoft Press has delivered it to deluxe style.

The two volume set of over 1100 pages, gives you 26 chapters of information covering the two exams. There are review questions, practice examples, hands-on exercises and so much more included in each chapter. The chapters are broken down into timed segments and you can skip around to customize the learning process.

The first of two cds included is a self paced learning cd from Microsoft the will enhance what the books and give you additional information. The setup and installation was simple easy to follow and I was learning in a matter of minutes.

The other cd is NETg, National Education Training Group, and this cd is multimedia based learning, which can be used independently is you desired. While the price tag may seem hefty, the value outweighs the cost in so may ways. Microsoft is the first name in applications and certification and Microsoft Press makes the learning easier.
