4.0 out of 5 stars
Windows 2000 Professional,
This review is from: Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Paperback)
I found the book to be well laid out and written to allow a wide range of users to understand the operation and configuration of Windows 2000. The examples contained are precise and step by step so that the novice or expert can easily find the path to a well structured operating system in their home or office PC. The forward references found in the initial chapters allow the reader to fast forward to places of special interest or need and delve into the details or specific functions they are searching for. I believe this will be a valuble addition to any Windows 2000 users library.

Really helpful book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting the usual coverage of how to work with Windows and some theory. I got a lot more. When I ran into problems with my printer, I was able to go into the troubleshooting section and get useful advice on how to fix it. I also found the MSMQ coverage helpful. The company I'm working for is looking at this technology and knowing how to set things up is a real plus.

Lightweight - not worth the cost!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Paperback)
This book is more like a "Win 2000 for Dummies" book than the in-depth reference I had hoped for. For example, as an example of a "catastrophic failure" the author refers to a mouse failure during boot-up. There is little depth to the text, and critical issues such as modem sharing and the like are not even covered. NOT RECOMMENDED.
