Amazon.com Review
Ed Bott and Carl Siechert have combined their considerable talents for producing user-level documentation in creating Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out. One of the most carefully researched books on Windows XP to date, this large volume has all the information and procedures most everyday users of the operating system will want. With its nicely formatted how-to instructions, detailed documentation of command-line commands, intelligent explanatory text, and broad scope, this book makes a great reference for a family or business that uses Windows XP extensively. Even the illustrations are more helpful than usual, largely because the publisher has gone to the trouble of annotating many of them with pointers and labels. Bott and Siechert deal with the most controversial features of Windows XP, notably product activation, in a straightforward way. They simply explain what activation is for, tell how to go about it, and move on. If you're a power user interested in getting around activation and performing other unsanctioned hacks, look for your information in online newsletters. This book plays by Microsoft's rules, and that's fine. It's obvious that the authors have had access to Windows XP for some time, and spent a lot of time exploring its new features. Count on this book to explain the complete set of Windows XP's features--even the exciting networking stuff--in terms you can easily follow. --David Wall Topics covered: Microsoft Windows XP (Professional and Home editions) for home and office users who want to install, use, and run applications. Emphasis is on basic set-up and configuration, hardware installation and modification, file management, multimedia, and networking.

• A Time Wasting Volume
14 December, 2009
I was very disappointed with this book. It simply does not provide the practical help to XP that I had anticipated. The book contains a vast amount of non-essential information and by the time you discover that the article cannot provide practical help, you have wasted entirely too much time.
I found both the table of contents and the index difficult to use. I alway come away with more questions than answers to some of my technical XP problems. If you are looking for timesaving solutions, tips, tricks, or other workarounds you will be wasting your time with this title.

• Great Primer, Goes Back To Basics
03 October, 2009
And helps the advanced IT/Computer Guru not overlook the simple things first, which we all do at times.
Well written, non condescending and not over the head of the newbie, but informative and helpful as a guide.
I keep it on my bookshelf as a primary reference, and if you work with Windows XP as a user/power user/tekky at all, you should too.
