4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
This book covers everything I needed to know to work with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional. It covers the issues how to install IIS 5, setting up Websites, and management issues. There are loads of step through exercises, and plenty of screen captures to walk you through the tasks you need to know to manage a Web. A very complete book.

3.0 out of 5 stars e-mail to editor, March 20, 2001
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Unleashed (Paperback)
This is e-mail I have sent to the editor of this book:

This is a book for the people who like puzzles. I have just started to read it and even in the beginning I've found a lot of controversy. On page 10 in paragraph 5 (considering Note as a paragraph) you read: "With Windows NT 4, Microsoft moved the GDI, or Graphics Device Interface (the display part of NT), to the Kernel. Previous versions of Windows 2000 had these services in User mode".

But on page 40 the first paragraph under the "Why the lost legacy?" section you can read:"Keep in mind that Windows 2000 follows Windows NT in having the Graphics Device interface (GDI) in User instead of Kernel as in previous Windows NT versions".

So, where GDI is actually located??? I was not awared that we have had previous versions of Windows 2000. What are they? Or did the author mean Win95, Win98, WinNT as previous versions? In that case they are not version of Windows 2000, just versions of Windows. Or may be I have missed information about previous versions of Windows 2000?

I have to find now a different source of Windows 2000 information, because after the problems I've encountered in this book it is a waste of my time to read it at all.
