A good book on XP including SP2

[--Pete]

Hi,

Have you ever looked at books put out by QUE Publishing?

Yes. I've got a dozen or more books published by QUE. They range from excellent to charcoal starter :)

I don't have  this book, but I'm seriously considering it

Peter Norton was my hero back in DOS days :)

Seriously, I would guess that anything written by Norton would be clear, concise, and correct. What I would wonder about would be the level and content. While I suspect that he could write everything from a beginner's book to an OS hex hacking guide, I get the impression that this particular book is aimed at the novice to low level intermediate user. I get that impression mainly from the description of the book and list of similar books (Using Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Using Microsoft Windows XP Home, and Make the Most of Your Windows PC). These sound like user's guides and what I'm interested in is an admin's guide.

Thanks for the info, and if you do get Norton's book, please add a brief review to this thread. After all, munging OSes is a fun game and thus info on how to do that falls into the Lurker domain ;)
