Summary: Average book
Comment: CompTIA tests are vendor neutral, so I was interested to see what Microsoft Press would do with a non Microsoft title. Unfortunately they slip in a lot of subtle and not so subtle pro Microsoft PR fluff. Also, the book is very Microsoft centric, most of the examples in the book are from Windows. I realize this is a Microsoft Press book, but if they are going to publish books for vender neutral tests they should cut out some of the propaganda. ...The book itself is pretty well written, I didn't notice many mistakes. Its goes way more in depth that the info you need for the CompTIA Network+ test. Strangely enough, you cannot find MESH network topology anywhere in this book, even though it is a test topic, and I had 1 question on my test related to this. The CD contains the entire book plus their Network Encyclopedia, which was useful in studying for the test. It would be nice if the CD has some practice tests similar to the real test, this is not hard or expensive for them to do, every book in this price range that comes with a CD should have practice tests, IMO. I subtracted 1 star for all the pro MS fluff and 1 star for no practice tests on the CD, so its a average 3 star book in my opinion...

Summary: Helpful to Pass
Comment: Found the book helpful to pass the exam with a high score. The cd isn't all that valuable. Would have appreciated a simulated test on the cd. As with most cert books, you may want to look at multiple sources (test sites, other books, videos, etc.) to get a more complete grasp on the topic.

Summary: OK, but with significant gaps
Comment: I'm about 40% through this book in my preparation, and it is giving me lots of useful material for the exam, especially in details on TCP and consistent references back to the OSI model. Clear gaps, however, include no coverage of the 2002 Network+ updates and a complete absence of discussion on AppleTalk. It was worth the price paid for a "used" copy, but clearly not sufficient as a sole study book.
