 good book, but what about those bugs? July 13, 2008
First, for most of you, this is a great book. Ed Bott is among the best writers about Windows out there, and the book has great indices and layout. It answers 95-99% of my questions well.
I haven't really read a lot of it, but referred to it here and there. I've generally found the answer to what I need (and I do some work in software testing). I haven't been able to find a good resolution to a problem plaguing my home system about waking up USB devices in sleep mode. (Apparently this is a known issue and well documented on the MS site). This book is good at explaining how things are supposed to work, not as good at explaining why they don't always function the way they're supposed to.
One other hilarious thing. The appendix contains about 30-40 pages that list bugs which were fixed. Talk about padding!

This is a comprehensive book. I do not believe there is better place to go if you really want to know and understand what's included in the Vista version of the Windows Operating Systems.
