Summary: Everything you want to know... all jumbled up
Review: As an NT newby, this book taught me more about windows NT than I ever expected. I only wish I could have found a similar book for win95!

It was not only and education in NT, but a good introduction to networking. However, the content was not heavily biased towards networkers.

Overall, I found the book highly readable - once I started reading, I read it through to the end: all 1107 pages!

Review: This is a thorough treatment on NT Workstation 4.0. No doubt about it, it's all here. My criticism is the structure of the book, not it's content so my gripe is with the editors not the writer.

Summary: This is the book for you.
Review: Well there is not much to say, except that this is the book for you for mastering Windows NT Workstation 4.0. Whether you want to know NT just to know it, or put it to work for you for your MCSE core requirements. This book was highly recommended by all of my peers who were studying for there MCSE certification.

Summary: A good start but not deep enough
Review: When I read a book with 'Mastering' in the title I expect something that gets down and dirty -- you know -- DEEP. This book doesn't do that.

Although it would be a great book if I were completely new to NT Workstation, I've been using it for several years and I had already picked up 90+% of the contents of this book through osmosis.

I felt the early chapters on the apps bundled with NT (such as wordpad and pbrush) were a total waste of time. The book is over 1000 pages long and I can write all the new/useful stuff I learned from it on one page.

This is not 'Mastering' so much as simply 'Basics'.
