The book is a nice review, but it does have some errors. Some of the test exam questions have incorrect answers, or they use the wrong terms. For example, they use 8GB instead of 8Gb for the answer to a SAN throughput question.

Also, some of the concepts in the book are incorrect. For example, the author's definition for hard versus soft zoning is just wrong.

Overall, it is a good review outline, with some errors.

That trick even works in VMware Fusion for you Mac fans out there. I actually did all of my demos at VMworld with ESX and VC running in VMs on my Macbook Pro – even the demos I did in front of the Windows crowd.

And a great way to mess around with ESX as you study for your exam is to run it in a VM itself, using VMware Workstation. You can set up a network of ESX hosts and Virtual Center management servers using the VMware Workstation “teams” feature, and even VMotion nested VMs (that is, VMs 'on' those ESX VMs) around in the virtual network.

It's like having an ESX cluster on your laptop… sweet!
