John- Honestly, I believe that unless you've got some extensive (more than 2 years) experience in troubleshooting MS Servers and workstations, the Bootcamp will do you an injustice. You will learn a considerable amount of stuff in a short time, and then take the tests to pass immediately afterwards. 3-6 months later, you won't remember half of what you learned about Active Directory or Group Policy management, much less anything dealing with NT 4/2000 mixed Server application scenarios. You'll then feel really stupid when trying to solve problems that you would feel should be simple, but some gotcha makes them not. Just my humble opinion though, from years of experience working with the Paper MCSEs.
This, of course, does not take into account the possibility that you personally have a "read once, never forget it" learning capacity. :) If you do have the experience though, MCSE Bootcamps are the way to go (provided money is no object). I would suggest LearnQuick.com as the source for the Bootcamp, as the instructor is top notch. Classes are held in Austin, TX.
