Summary: If you know what you're doing, this is a good book.
Comment: If you don't know what you're doing, this is not a book for you--the Nutshell series expects you to have at least a working knowledge of things, and preferably an intermediate to advanced knowledge of them.
MCSE in a Nutshell IS a good book because it allows the advanced user to do a quick study of the topics they're familiar with, and use alternate learning materials for the areas in which they are not. It is also excellent for giving you a quick idea of how much or how little you know. It's my favorite book on the subject because it's concise, contains good information, and tells you both what to expect in the real world, and what to expect on the tests. (As we all know that Microsoft's view of the world does not always coincide with reality.)
If you buy this book, though, use it as a REFRESHER and not a teacher. I noted one or two instances where the information given would have gotten me a wrong answer on the test, because while it applied to reality, MS's view on the topic was different... But this is how it is with MOST books (including official MS documentation).

Summary: Good overview and review, but lots of errors
Comment: I already have my MCSE certification and am using this before I start interviewing to review all the information I learned in a 7-month class I recently completed. This is a great overview and review book! It definitely is nowhere near the only information you need to pass the Microsoft exams, but I don't think they're claiming that it is anyway. The only complaint I have is that it's full of errors! It looks like they took an older edition, maybe for Windows 98 or NT, and went through it changing parts that were new, only they forgot to make half the changes. But overall I'm very satisfied with it as an overview to jog my memory about a lot of things I'll need to know in technical interviews.

Summary: good review for the tests
Comment: i used this book as my primary review for 070-240, the combined test for nt4 mcse's, in addition to the readiness review cd from the microsoft kit. i passed the exam.
don't buy it if you're looking to learn the material; what it's useful for is if you either already know the material, and need to make sure there aren't any gaps in your knowledge, or if, like me, you need a good outline-type review of the material. it's condensed, sure... if a topic doesn't feel like you know it, you will need to reference other books to learn it. but as an overview, to make sure you know what you need to know for the exams, it's perfect.
