5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars only because Amazon won't let me give ten., November 10, 1998

By A Customer

I took a class on NT Workstation through an ATEC in the summer, then waited three months before taking - and failing - the exam. As I went back through my notes from the class it was apparent that even if I took the exam the day after the class, I still would have failed.... there just wasn't enough corelation between what was in the course and what was on the exam.

I was on the verge of forgetting about it when I saw another person using this book to study for the exam. I'd already wasted close to $2k, so what was $16?

That $16 was the best investment I've ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth three times the price!, October 24, 1998

By A Customer

I did not buy this book to pass the Microsoft exam - I just needed something to explain to me why Windows NT Workstation was doing some of the things on my system that it was. A friend of mine who was studying for the exam suggested I get this book, and I did.

Not only do I understand NT a whole lot better than I did after reading other books, but I understand more of how NT interacts with everything else - particularly NetWare servers and Dial-up networking.

I would buy this book again in a heartbeat, and plan on buying others in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars To the point!, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

I spent a lot of looking over the coverage of key topics in half-a-dozen Workstation books. This one covered them in as much or more detail than any other. The small size comes from the fact that the non-critical nonsense has been removed, which saves me from having to jump over a dozen pages here and there.

I found the book to be easy to read, easy to understand, and all that it was advertised to be, and then some.
