MS Win95 resource kit is teated like gold in my office because it continues to provide the answers for our senior and junior network personnel. If you happen to leave one lying around unmonitored it will most assuredly either beome lost or stolen. A copy stolen last month hasn't been found yet. My only complaint is that it should have been a multi volume set because it's heavy and akward trying to read in bed at night, oh no, I didn't steal it

I expected more from this book. I suppose this book would be great if I had never worked with DOS or Windows before. It has some good information but lacks solid details when it comes to using Windows 95 in a Windows NT domain.

This book is not about Windows 95. It is about how to get your organization to buy into converting to Windows 95. Total waste of money.

Great to solve problems through helpdesk and to trouble shoot, also is very useful as a reference to have when a user calls with computer problems or questions regarding their computers

As a student technition, I was required to read portions of this book, as part of my training. I have found it more and more useful as my time spent with computers has increased. As I encounter more complex problems, I have found that it is an invaluable asset to have on my side.

Invaluable resource for those of us who have frustrated clients trying to configure their systems. This resource has saved me numerous hours, and made me a few dollars to boot. The synopis is slightly incorrect ... the tomb comes with a CD-ROM, not three disks.

While this book isn't a "hold your breath suspense novel" it is certainly one of the best friends you will have when your PC stops working or worse your Win95 network stops and the boss starts screaming. In fact you may find that it is your only friend at this point. The guidelines to performing an upgrade to Win95 are straight forward and easy to understand. There is more than enough detail to help an advanced user while the inexperienced user can certainly pull out the information they need quickly. The troubleshooting section of the book is detailed and is actually helpful which is much more than many other technical titles I own. I can't say enough about how this book helped me upgrade my company's entire PC network quickly and with very little pain. The book helped head off many problems before they became problems and anyone who supports end users and their PC's knows that the quicker and easier an upgrade goes the happier everyone is in the end. There are very few technical books I recommend as strongly as this title.If you have or support a PC using the Win95 operating system DO NOT wait. Buy this book!! You will not regret it for a second.

If you plan to install, configure, use or support this OS you have to have this book. It is a resources that will save you hours of time. Pays for itself the first time you open it
