Hi Der, Well, no. The A+ exams cover both hardware and software. You must pass two exams in order to earn certification. One is hardware, which is just as you mention below. The second is the operating systems exam, which covers the essentials required to set up and maintain a Windows system. Though CompTIA wants to claim that they're vendor-independent, the operating systems portion of the A+ cert is arguably all Microsoft! ----- Original Message ----- From: "der.hans" To: Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 1:21 PM Subject: Re: A+ Prep - was Potential PLUG Presentation? > Am 03.
