Summary: Don't waste your Time.
Review: At first glance it seemed like a decent book. But after reading just a few pages you can tell that the book needed a technical editor to correct the inconsistancies. In the first chapter they say that the only operating sytems that can't be upgraded to XP is Windows 3.1 and any server version. The next page says that Win 95 and Win NT 3.51 can not be upgraded to XP. There is no mention of Win2k at all for the upgrades. A few pages further on they talk about the installation screens and talk about installing Windows 2000. The website doesn't have an errata link listing corrections so it leaves me being very unsure of which is correct. After only reading about 20 pages of the book I am dreading reading further and getting more confused and even more afraid of incorect information. I bought this book to pass the 20-270 certification test and don't think that this book is even worth reading because you can't trust anything in it. It is even a second edition so I find it absurd that there is any major mistakes in it.

I had to give it one star but I would have rated it 0 stars if I could have.

Don't waste your time and money on this piece of trash.
