Title: Too many flagrant errors
Review: This book disappointed me. It contains many major errors (such as claiming that XP Home doesn't support NTFS compression or have an Administrator account) and dozens of smaller but significant errors. These errors would never have made it into the book if Microsoft had had a subject matter expert proof the book. In addition, the writing is often careless, such as when terms that should be given precise definitions are instead used haphazardly and inconsistently. It is a relatively easy read, but this is not a well-written technical book. Also, many of the practice questions on the included CD were an absolute joke, apparently written by someone with no real-world experience on the subject matter at all. Many questions and explanations were completely incorrect. Microsoft could have, and should have, done better.
Is the review positive or negative?
