Title: This book is a waste of money!
Review: I'm not a Gates-o-phobe and in fact admire many of Microsoft's products. This is not one that I admire. This book is, as one other customer reviewer aptly put it, merely a glossary that covers windows-based (and some mac-based) software terms. Definitions of all of these terms are available on several excellent web sites.Even more alarming are sections that address elements of style and grammar. They are desultory and often questionable. As a tecnical writer with an English degree who works in the software industry, I advise getting Fowlers Modern English Usage or the Chicago Manual of Style. The techies need to leave grammar and style to the pros.
