How is this course different than Microsoft's ?
CWS is an intensive course that covers the depth and breadth of Windows. MS courses focus on specifc areas of Windows security. Both are good approaches. It depends on your specific needs.
While MS courses reflect Microsoft's take on Windows, Complete Windows Security was designed and is taught by an independent information security expert - Randy Franklin Smith. You get to learn directly from someone who has written over 300 articles on Windows security and developed software, consulted and trained on Windows security since the early 90s when Windows NT was first released.
At the same time, Randy has taught hundreds of IT auditors how to audit the Windows environment and performed countless audits and security assesments himself. Many attendees say that in addition to learning Windows security, they learn a lot about information security in general and how to develop controls that really address risk and satisfy auditors.

Will this course help me with compliance efforts?
Yes, you will learn how to implement controls that address the key risk areas addressed in SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, FISMA, et al.
Will this course help me get certified as an MCSE+security?
Yes, but that is not the focus of the course. Complete Windows Security focuses on solving real world security problems - not preparing for an exam.
