July 05, 2009: I have a good deal of experience with Hyper-V and have read a large amount of documentation regarding the technology. This includes the book "Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V : Insiders Guide to Microsoft's Hypervisor" written by members of the Hyper-V team.
I purchased this book to assist in a final study prep for the exam. The book contain numerous factual and conceptual errors that directly contradict the information in other more authoritative documentation and my own experience. For instance, the book claims that snapshots make copies of virtual hard drives. It also claims that Sysprep creates images files. Because I purchased this book for my company, and other less experienced members of my team will use it, I had to edit the book as I read it. At the end of the day I gave this book two stars because about 80% of the data is technically accurate, and the questions are still useful for studying. But because of the seriousness of the errors I question whether this would be worth the price.I Also Recommend: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
