Windows 7 Certification

I want to take the 70-680 certification exam for Windows 7. It's a problem because most training materials are only available for Pre-Order right now. I think the Springboard Series videos and Technet resources are a good way to study for this exam. They are FREE too. Technet also offers 3 free online training courses for Windows 7. There is no substitute for hands on experience with Windows 7. If you can get your hands on Windows 7 beta or release candidate it will help. Like most Microsoft exams, this one seems geared towards the 'New Features' of the OS. You can find more information about the exam objectives here:
