Negative Positive
Title: Great cover, contents disappointing
Review: The clever and knowing subtitle, "The manual you should have received with Windows 98," combined with the good-looking and orderly layout, drew me to this book. It is clearly intended for the neophyte, and I bought it when I switched from Mac to Windows 98. Like many new users I was mystified - and frustrated - by various aspects of Windows and looked to the index for help on specifics. Nearly every time, this book failed to address my question. Now that I'm fairly competent this book is useful, but would not recommend for the Mac user new to Windows. The author has not adequately anticipated the most common new-user emergencies, and the "Troubleshooting" sections - that you turn to in a bit of a panic - are quite meager.
Is the review positive or negative?
