This review is from: Windows 98 Unleashed (Paperback)

The Windows 98 Unleashed version is better than the Windows 98 Unleashed: Professional Reference Edition version, for the lack of a couple hundred extra pages of extraneous unnecessary material. With the standard version it's easier to find what you need.
