2.0 out of 5 stars A far cry from a study aid, March 1, 2002
It's a given that no one study guide will give you the understanding to pass the associated MCSE exam, but this barely qualifies as a study guide. For someone who has never worked with Windows before and has never seen XP before, this might be a good "Windows XP for Dummies"-like book. It does quickly gloss over most of the basics of the OS, how to network it and even how to deploy it, but falls short of even being a How-To for people looking to support and not wanting to study for the exam. A good example of just how much information this book lacks is to take the practice exam off the included CD-ROM. Less than five questions into the practice exam, the information needed to get the question right is not even covered in the book.

My suggestion would be to anyone who is looking to prep for the exam is to read the XP Resource Kit, the on-line help, and Microsoft's Readiness Review for XP - and leave this book on the shelf.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a POS!!, May 11, 2004
By "jconklin321" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This Book is the biggest POS I have ever had for a MCSE book. The cd is such a joke the testing software sucks so bad it does not even test you chapter by chapter. I went and took the 70-270 test and I was not ready for it at all. I went out and bought the sybex 70-270 book and its safe to say I will be so ready for the test now. The software on the sybex book lets you test yourself chapter by chapter and overall the book it set up much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars I expected more, February 15, 2002
By john hoff (Orlando,FL) - See all my reviews
The book seems like it was rushed to the presses, as it is definitely lacking in necessary material for the exams. I'm very disappointed with this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars The most stupid "study guide" that I've ever seen.
This book is far away for being a complete study guide for 70-270 exam preparation. Many questions, that you'll see on the actual exam, do not covered in this book at all. Read more
