Upgrading MCITP from Vista to 7

Question
-
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me get on the right track here (although I think I am, I just want confirmation). I passed the 70-620 and 70-622 exams for Vista, so to upgrade my certification to Windows 7 I only need to take the 70-682 exam correct? I assume that is what this is telling me here (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-windowsclient.aspx#tab5) Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.
Also, there are no study materials for 70-682 if that is the exam I need to take. What do you all suggest? Get the material for 70-685 and pick out the stuff I need based on the 70-682 syllabus?
I appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Hi,That is correct, it looks like if you already have the MCITP: EnterpriseSupport (Vista), then you only need to take 70-682.I haven't taken an upgrade exam yet, but I'd imagine that the way that Iwould prepare for it would be to study the material for the two examsthat make up the MCITP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7:http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-680&locale=en-us#tab2http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-685&locale=en-us#tab2It looks like both of these have self paced training kits with them tohelp you study the objectives. My guess is that if you have theknowledge for both of the exams, then you should be able to pass theupgrade exam (at the cost of 1400 pages of reading or so, possiblyskimming familiar material).

That correct, I'm sitting my second shot on that today.
Here are the links I have used for study for it:

The exam questions you on stuff from 70-680 and 70-686 so if you can get your hands on the study guides for those you are on the way.
