1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!! IT HAS A DEFECTIVE CD..., November 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSA: Windows 2000 Certification Kit (Hardcover)

don't buy this book 'cause the 70-216 has a defective CD in it and the publisher won't replace it 'cause they haven't made a working version yet and if you lost your receipt and not send your copy to them, they won't send you the working version when it done.

also this is what i got from the support of the publisher:

"Thanks for the inquiry. We apologize for the installation problems with the E-Book programs on the Sybex Interface of the CD. This unfortunate error wasn't discovered until after the CD had been sent to the CD replicator."
