Reader Reviews
This is a good book. Like other Effective Executive's Guides, this 375-page book amounts to an easy tutorial on Windows XP Professional. The book covers all the core skills a person needs--especially the skills a business user needs--to comfortably and productively work with Windows XP. In a nutshell, the book is a good alternative to titles like Windows XP for Dummies, Teach Yourself Windows XP in 24 Hours, and Windows XP Step by Step--especially if you want something with a little less silliness, something a little more professional and something, shall we say, that assumes you're a bit smarter than the average tutorial reader. Note, though, that this book doesn't provide the depth or breadth of those really large and thorough Windows XP references such as Mastering Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out. If you're looking for a reference that answers every question (or almost every question) you want one of those of those other "big" books.
