• Introduction To Xp
14 December, 2001
I'd consider this more of an introduction to XP rather a reference for mastering XP. If you want to know how to change the default settings, use some of the XP tools or why chat programs are good then this book is good for you. If you want to know how to work around XP or nitty gritty detail this book does not help much

• Great First Edition Companion
26 August, 2008
This is a excellent companion for those of us who bought the first edition of this book when XP was originally released. The first edition had a very nice "hand holding" section at the beginning to get new users up and running quickly and confidently. It also included a CD of some useful utilities and the text of book for online searching.
This Third edition includes a lot of new material not available when XP was first released, as one would expect with a developing product. It clearly shows a user with some familiarity with XP much of what lies "behind the curtain." There is no accompanying CD.
So, while there is a lot of duplication between the two editions, this Third edition represents a major updating of information and techniques.

• Perfect Xp Reference For The Non-geek
19 September, 2004
When I first bought my XP Home machine two years ago, I went to the book store and picked up Mastering Windows XP, and I have been congratulating myself with my good choice ever since.
I started out with average knowledge about using Windows 95 and nothing on XP. This book has been invaluable to me from day one. Mr. Hart-Davis writes in a friendly, chatty tone, but still succinct enough not to drown you in words. He patiently describes the most basic concepts (all the basic stuff is grouped in the beginning pages with screen shots, very inviting to total computer beginners) all the way up to advanced features like dual boot and disaster recovery. Why, I needed the chapter on disaster recovery during the first week of owning XP!
With Mastering Windows XP I learned so much about how to get the most out of my computer, such as running explorer offline, setting up restore points, and customizing the taskbar. I recently even learned about emulation - how to install Windows 95 within Windows XP with the help of Microsoft Virtual PC, so that I can run some old games that XP considers below itself. Almost always, whenever I have a need, I can find the answer in this book.
I feel like I am a bit of a master of XP now - nothing compared to the real pros, of course, but compared to my friends and relatives, I have the confidence of a true geek in front of my computer!

• Ok, But . . .
04 February, 2007
Get the Osborne book "The Complete Reference: Windows XP" by John Levine & Margaret Levine Young instead.
I've got both. I only grab this one second.
