Seems railroad to it was a success: just got this message in my e-mail:
“Congratulations on passing your recent Microsoft Certification exam, inspiring confidence for your employer, your peers, and yourself with a widely-recognized validation of your skills on Microsoft technology.“
Because I haven’t done any exam since Windows Internals beta I assumed that I passed it and I was right! After registering at Microsoft certification site as MCP I was able to build my logo:

Congratulations! I took my exam in Boston around the same time you did, and took a train and a trolley to the test center. I got the same email you did around midnight EST Friday so I passed too!

Congratulations to you too, David! You ‘will “!analyze –v” for food!’ like you said on your blog but I’ve just realized that I’ve been doing that for 5 years!

Windows Internals book I can recommend or wait for my books Windows Internals Distilled and Windows Debugging Notebook which should be published next year. Note: the last two books were not designed specifically for exam but discuss and provide an overview of many topics from the exam curriculum.

Current release of Windows Internals book (4th edition) concern Windows 2000/XP/2003, but exam is about Windows Vista, so 4th edition is enough?
Maybe “Advanced Windows Debugging”, but only one chapter about vista.
I don’t have a lot of experience with vista and I want to prepare a plan for learning. When your books will be released?
