What book - resources would you recommend to study for the test. We still
have Win XP in our computer lab since Vista is not compatible with all the
software we use, but it is installed on the instructor computers.

I missed out on a chance to take Vista last year at a discounted price as a
complete packaged deal with Office 2007. I wasn't ready for Vista and I no
longer see discounts offered.

Thanks

Hard to say... I don't know what a "Vista MCAS test" is.

According to the site's info:
Microsoft Press Books - There are no Microsoft Press books currently
available.
They have some online resources related to exam information
My recommendation, go for the Vista 70-620 exam, even if you do not want to
be a "techie", but there are a lot more resources.

I guess that really depends on whether one wants the =MCAS= certification or
the =MCTS= certification.

As for the MCAS, I would recommend the standard consumer/user-oriented
books.

Introducing Microsoft Windows Vista by William R. Stanek
Windows Vista Inside Out by Ed Bott, Carl Siechert, and Craig Stinson

The key focus of that exam is on topics related to using one's Vista
computer, and doing so safely.
