" Definitive Guide" - by Anonymous on 07-DEC-2009
Reviewer Rating:
The only definitive Insider guide to windows. I have to admit I had to read this book several times to really get a hold of it. But if you work with Windows on a regular basis, and keep referring this book, things will eventually start making sense.
I do have one suggestion for the Authors. They should add more volumes, there are a lot more topics in windows that need more thorough coverage.
