I received a comp. copy from Pearson (Cisco Press) to review. I havent typed up a formal review (like the one I just completed for CCIE Practical Studies Volume 1 by Karl Solie), but I have played with it a little. Biggest problem I found with the CIM is that it only takes the commands that it uses for the labs it is simulating. Basically, if you hit '?' you'll see a very shortened list of commands (the commands that are applicable to the lab vs. the entire list). It makes it too easy to figure out what you need to use. It's okay for the price, but if you can afford real routers or rack time, I'd go that route instead.
