I'm preparing to take the A+ exams this year, but my laptop is still running XP Pro (ok, I knew Vista wasn't too much of an upgrade, and then I heard MS would be releasing Windows 7 soon, so I decided to wait and save to get me a nice Alienware laptop later this year ). Also, Office 2010 is coming out, so I'll have everything new to investigate.

My question is: how much regarding Vista are we supposed to know? Is it possible to learn those specifics solely by reading (Meyers, etc.) WITHOUT practising with it?

Anyone??

 

The A+ exams tend to cover the more widely available Windows client operating systems. At this point, I'd recommend you focus your efforts mostly on XP with a basic level of knowledge of the new features included with Windows Vista. While I always recommend practical experience whenever possible, you can probably get by with theoretical knowledge of Vista features if you've got a lot of experience with other Windows client OSs.
