Après avoir attendu depuis quelques jours les résultats de la certification Windows 7 : Configuration, je suis fier d’annoncer que je suis maintenant certifié (score 916/1000 !) !

La certification ressemble beaucoup à son équivalent Vista (70-620) tout en abordant les nouveautés/spécificités de Windows 7.

Quelques ressources si vous voulez bosser dessus :

• Le preparation guide de l’exam : http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-680&locale=en-us
• Un petit lot de guides d’apprentissage/formations (elearning, bouquins etc.) http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/training/windows.aspx
• Le site Technet et la RC de Windows 7 à télécharger d’urgence en attendant la release finale !
• Voir en bas du post une liste de ressources pour chaque point du learning guide (merci à Claymoore pour les quelques liens que j’ai copié et complété)

________________________________

After waiting for a few days the results, I’m glad to announce I’ve passed the Windows 7 : Configuration beta exam. It’s a bit harder than its equivalent for Vista (70-620) but make a good overview of all Windows 7 new features.

You have excellent ressources if you want to train:

• The prep guide http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-680&locale=en-us
• Some interresting learning documents http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/training/windows.aspx
• And obviously technet website + the RC (and the final release soon)
• Have a look below for a list of ressources by topics (thanks to Claymoore for the draft)
