Negative Positive
Title: Book written by a Microsoft cheerleader
Review: A lot of space is used describing how cool a feature is, or how easy Exchange 2000 is to use. Looking in the book's Acknowledgments, the author gives his "deepest thanks to the marketing folks at Microsoft and Microsoft's public relations support firm".That's how the book comes across to me, something written by a PR firm.For example, when I wanted to learn about OWA, I was met with this text: "If everything I've said so far about Exchange 2000 Server's OWA has failed to excite you, I know this will."I don't need excitement. I need to know how Exchange 2000 works!I agree with a previous reviewer, that the author describes the obvious in a chatty way, without giving any real understanding. Rather like a long-winded friend who never gets to the point.
Is the review positive or negative?
