Windows 8 Keyboard shortcuts - new keyboard shortcuts introduced with Windows 8 (70-687)
The Configuring Windows 8 exam (70-687) includes a lot of information as identified on the “Skills Being Measured” outline on the Microsoft Learning page for the exam.
As the page defines:
The information after “This objective may include but is not limited to” is intended to further define or scope the objective by describing the types of skills and topics that may be tested for the objective. However, it is not an exhaustive list of skills and topics that could be included on the exam for a given skill area. You may be tested on other skills and topics related to the objective that are not explicitly listed here.”
What I have below regarding the Windows 8 Keyboard shortcuts will most likely NOT be on the exam but having said that, it is good information to know.
