Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
While not exactly a technical reference, this book provides enough technical information to enable you to solve all but the hairiest of problems. It also walks you through just about everything that has to do with making a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 do what you want it to. Windows NT 4 Workstation Unleashed opens with a guide to surveying a computer prior to Windows NT Workstation 4.0 installation. It takes you through the installation process, and then explains in useful but not oppressive detail how to use each of the Control Panel tools. An Advanced System Configuration chapter covers installation and adjustment of modems, video cards, SCSI devices, and the like. You'll also find competent coverage of connecting an NT Workstation system to a network, either with a direct LAN hookup or via a dial-up connection. Several chapters describe special considerations of those planning to use Windows NT Workstation 4.0 for software development (including the Win32 API and SDK) and graphics (including OpenGL). The book concludes with a basic troubleshooting guide and a look at possible successors to Windows NT Workstation 4.0. The bundled CD-ROM suffers from a seriously clunky interface but holds some goodies including Executive Software's wonderful Diskeeper Lite disk defragmenter.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best NT book, period,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows Nt 4 Workstation Unleashed (Paperback)
Mathias and Osborne start off with some essential facts about NT and how it came to be. Then, they go into the basics of using NT. After that, you can use the book's contents any way you please. Very organized, very well-written, and very well indexed. I would recommend this for anyone serious about using Microsoft's only alternative to DOS and the GUI overlays that comprise DOS-based systems like W95/W98. This book is excellent. You would be remiss not to own a copy.
