Ive heard the same horror stories, the real problem is finding a self contained study source for these exams. Ive found a book called McSd Training guide : WaI and Wa II by John Casavant but its not out until may 26th.
Likewise MCSD Microsoft Windows Architecture I; Study Guide by Ben Ezzel isnt out till May 1st.(I just went to Amazon.com and searched on wossa, for those interested). I would be worried that M$ own "Readings on Microsoft Windows and Wosa" is not only out out date but just a regurgitation of there own KB
