A good Windows XP book [?]

Hi,

What would be a good Windows XP book for someone familiar with Win
95/98 and NT4? I'm looking for deeper information than just "click
here - click there".

TIA, Eugene

You really have to go to a good book shop and look for your self.
Different books suit different people in different ways. I have
Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out by Ed Bott and Carl Siechert, published
by Microsoft Press but there are many others that may suit you better.

I am OK with the Sybex book, it is between too simple and too tough. It has
worked for me so far.

Everybody has different tastes in this sort of thing, but *my*
favorite, by far, is "Windows XP Inside Out," by Bott, Siechert,
and Stinson.

Another nice thing about the "Inside and Out" book (I also have it)
is it has a CD-ROM with it with the entire book as an ebook --
nice to put on your machine (even better with a laptop). Another
book I like is "Windows XP Hacks - tips & tools for optimizing
our OS" by Preston Gralla (O'Reilly books). One of the few
books of this type I have actually read the whole thing (of course
it is all a bunch of short things so that makes it easier). Quite
a few cute little tools and tips - like using the virtual desktop from
M$ (free - powertools thing).

mikey

Believe it or not, many of my clients read/own the books for dummies in
yellow (Windows for Dummies or something similar). I don't own any here,
but do own the others listed by the rest (gifted by the authors) and I have
to say after skimming through the above mentioned, not bad at all in
comparison.

Simple general method:
1. Collect 4 or 6 significant questions or tasks.
2. Go shopping and start browsing, in particular
looking in indices for answers to your questions.
Each solution counts $5; each bright idea (that
you had not thought of but will probably use)
counts $5.
3. When you have in your hands a manual you
generally like, that scores more than its price,
buy it and go home.

Or how about a facility called the library? Try them.

Just curious, as I could not make sense of your subject, are you looking
for "good WindowsXP" or a "good book" about WindowsXP;^)

Happy hunting on both items.

Have fun
