Rating:  Summary: Just an overview Review: This book is a well-written, great introduction to Win2K. HOWEVER, it is of little help to experienced NT users looking for ANY technical detail about Win2K. I am sorry I bought it without more thoroughly examining it. I (and many other people, I believe) really need much more detail.
Rating:  Summary: Virtually Useless Book Review: This book is not at all what it promises to be. Very basic with poor indexing and little in-depth information
Rating:  Summary: Windows NT book rehash Review: This is a rehash of a Windows NT book for the most part, with a LITTLE veneer of Win2000 features tacked on. He has a whole chapter on the dorky PAINT program, but only a few pages on TCP/IP setup features and doesn't include the advanced features.This could have been a good 200 page book with a bit more thoughtful selection of material. As published, it's a mediocre 1100 page boilerplate job.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: This was one of the best written books on Windows 2000 I have ever read. Instead of just preparing you for a test or substitution as a reference manual this book actually explained how Windows 2000 works and how to get it up and running on your system. Helps you decide what options you need/want and how to use them. Very helpful.

Rating:  Summary: DAYTON SAYS: BUY THIS BOOK Review: When I bought Mark Minasi's first edition of "Windows 2000 Professional" and read it, I said to myself...Mark Minasi can do better than this; what in the world is going on. Had Mark lost his touch? Is he no longer #1? And, if you read the other bad reviews found here (they are all about the FIRST edition), then you can plainly see that I was not alone in my concern. Well, of course Mr. Minasi had not lost his touch. The reason for the not-so-good first edition really does not need to be addressed here. The main thing is that the SECOND edition is classic Minasi, with all of the important information you will need to get onboard with Windows 2000 Professional, coupled with his engaging wit and humor. So, the recommendation from this senior systems administrator is as follows. DAYTON SAYS: BUY THIS BOOK ....just remember to get the SECOND edition.
