Just for giggles, I started by using the enclosed CD to see how it performed. I tried it on Ubuntu first but although the system mounted the CD, it couldn't read the information. Thus I resorted to using Windows XP. The disk has the entire book on it in pdf format in case you want to store it on your hard drive. I tried out the flash cards and test engine next. Unless I was using them wrong, they seemed to be demos rather than full-fledged software. They also included demos covering a wide variety of Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and other cert exams. They performed well enough, but from the description on the back cover, I was expecting flash cards and exams focused on the 70-620 test (and if someone can point out my error and direct me to the full-fledged mock tests on the disk, I'll be glad to amend my comments).
If you've ever used a Sybex Study Guide to prepare for a certification exam, the format of this book will be quite familiar to you. Since I know both Michael and Josh, I checked out the personal information about the authors in the Dedications, Acknowledgments and About the Authors sections. I saw a lot of information about Michael and Josh but almost none referencing Lisa Donald or James Chellis, leading me to believe that Michael and Josh did most of the writing.
