I have 2 other books on WIn98SE. Neither one comes close to the depth of content that this book has, and both cost more. I should have bought this one FIRST!

This is the best Windows book I have read. It's no nonsense get down to business approach is refreshing compared to the other books that force you to wade through chapters of reading in order to find an answer to your question. I highly recommend this book to better understand Window 98.

So good I'm reluctant to recommend this book to my fellow support tech's. I've been coming off like a 98 support genius since picking it up and I don't want the competition on my job. Some really cool stuff here.

WHEN WILL WE SEE NT / 2000?
