Summary: A wonderful book, plus some bonuses
Comment: I bought this SE Using Windows 2000, and Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows 2000 pro. Here I will comment and recommend you this book.
As many other SE books, this book is written and proofread by pros, who give you the ins outs and tips on doing things in this new OS. But you also get much more than this:
You get a Cd that I usually skip till I read the whole book, and then there comes the surprise :
THREE OTHER ELECTRONIC BOOKS FOR FREE !
Yes, besides being this book in adobe acrobat format, there is also:
SE Using windows 98
SE Using Office 2000 / very much valuable /
SE Using Linux
Besides, there are two apendices to the book who are very very useful.
So, if you have to buy a book on win2k pro, do not hesitate, this is the book

Summary: Excellent OS book
Comment: I've not bought a book on an OS since NT 4. My intent is to use this and the Windows 2000 Professional Expert Companion as a reference. I find this book to be more useful than the other. The explanations are clear and covers topics well. The other book is good but I find coverage of some topics less complete. Just the installation section is impressive covering most setup scenarios from dual boot with Win9x, NT or Linux to triple boot with the aforementioned OSes. I really enjoy the security suggestions and tricks, though I think the author's security beliefs is a bit extreme or paranoid for home use or even the office but it's better to err on the side of caution. Considering I've only spent an hour with this gem, it's a quick read and I've found some cool stuff on security. Highly recommended.

Summary: Another version of W2K Online Help
Comment: This book is 5.5 pounds and 1600 pages of material that already exists (mostly) in the W2K package and, while the presentation is OK, much of it comes from Beta versions and much of it was changed with the final product plus 2 Service Paks, a Compatibility Update, and some Java patches. I don't mean to demean the work that went into 1600 pages (and even more is on the CD), but after all that work, much is missing. Screen captures are slightly larger than postage stamps. Most of the graphs and schematics make little sense. The authors take a leisurely pace, making the strange assumption that most W2K users are still in Windows 3.1 and running Commodore PC's with Teletype printers, while the authors themselves appear to be merrily giggling a lot while littering the floor with poptops and smashing beer cans into their foreheads between chapter headings. An example of how "early" this book is: the authors refer to a 300Mhz PC as "fast". Undoubtedly the authors have good intentions and have done considerable work on this hefty boat anchor, but readers who want deeper insight into W2K will want more (Try the W2K Resource Guide -- not perfect, but has most of the parts missing from this book). There's a lot of "We'll get back to this in Chapter XX," but the reference is never found. This is an OK book for those who don't consider reading the product documentation itself, or for first-time Windows users and DOS fanatics. It's most frustrating fault is that it's too wordy and somewhat repetitive -- the fulls details on many subjects are spread over several snippets in widely-spaced chapters. Fine for newbies, but I kept looking for more.
