Absolute trash:

This book contains as many mistakes as the Windows 2000 Professional book written by these same useless Shinder clowns. After reading the first 3 chapters I realized I was wasting my time reading this muddled garbage and threw the book in the trash where it belongs.

The test questions in the book and on the CD are mostly ambiguous and often don't give enough information to properly answer the questions. Although I did pass the test, it was mostly because of experience, not because I read this book.

It was mashed together using material from no less than 10 'contibutors' and some of them have very poor writing skills (which apparently the copy editors don't care to compensate for).

The book starts out stating how important it is to know the 'why' as well as the 'what' due to the new format of the 2K exams, yet the... more info
