5.0 out of 5 stars Well it helped me, August 8, 2005

I have read the other review and I just have to say this book helped me. I am going for my test soon and some of the questions I had were answered in a clear and concise format. Also, I really felt the writing made it a much easier read than other manuals that I have purchased. It is nice to know not all technical books need to read like stereo instructions or are oversimplified as in the dummy or idiots books. I went ahead and also called the company for the discounted practice exam and not only does the practice exam seem to have the type of question that the test has but they linked to the book in order to show me additional information on the particular topic. I would recommend this book.

I also found this book helpfu. To be honest I was able to pass the test using the information inside. I also occasionally take it along on a job incase I need some of the info. I did find it a more geared towards 4 stars to be fair. 5 stars normally does not go to a tech manual anyway but I didn't this it got the review I read that slammed a well put together book so I hope this redeems it.

At first glance it seemed like a decent book. But after reading just a few pages you can tell that the book needed a technical editor to correct the inconsistancies. In the first chapter they say that the only operating sytems that can't be upgraded to XP is Windows 3.1 and any server version. The next page says that Win 95 and Win NT 3.51 can not be upgraded to XP. There is no mention of Win2k at all for the upgrades. A few pages further on they talk about the installation screens and talk about installing Windows 2000. The website doesn't have an errata link listing corrections so it leaves me being very unsure of which is correct. After only reading about 20 pages of the book I am dreading reading further and getting more confused and even more afraid of incorect information. I bought this book to pass the 20-270 certification test and don't think that this book is even worth reading because you can't trust anything in it. It is even a second edition so I find it absurd that there is any major mistakes in it.

I had to give it one star but I would have rated it 0 stars if I could have.

Don't waste your time and money on this piece of trash.
