Microsoft eLearning books

Has anyone used these books? What did everyone think of them, the thing that interests me about them are they are direct from Microsoft print.

To be perfectly honest, I have never been a big fan of MS Press material. For example, their MOC (Microsoft Official Course) books are atrocious. I have found material from Sybex to actually be quite good - their Mastering Windows Server 2003 book is ridiculously useful (not to mention monstrously big).

The only real "official press" material I have ever found of any real nice quality would be Cisco Press for Cisco Systems hardware and software. MS Press however is a definite no.
