Thanks for all the emails and questions you guys send me in regards to the 70-653 exam book. I recently got word that the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-653): Configuring Windows Small Business Server 2008 will now be available in August of 2009. The good news is, that there will be two (2) sample chapters available for free download prior to the release of the book - I was told by Microsof Learning.
Once I find out more when and how to get the sample chapters, I'll post the instructions to the site. I do not know which 2 chapters will be chosen (that is currently being decided) but if you have a topic preference, let me know.
