(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book that is easy to read and understand. Well suited to the intermediate or advanced user that can navigate his or her way around Windows XP and understand the basic principles of Operating Systems.

This book is up to date and offers many hints and tips and updates that can be made to your installation. Many links to websites for downloading software that can further improve OS performance and monitoring.
