Got my personal copy after reading book online and in a library. This is a "must have" book for anybody, who wants to become the Windows "Pro".

The authors have taken an extremely complex subject and cut it up into little bit-size pieces. Laid out, a huge, complex system is there to take in as small chunks of manageable topics.
The authors know their subject, and don't try to impress you with their knowledge. Also, they are unbiased about the topic. No operating system is perfect, but after reading the book, at least you'll know why things don't work properly. (For example, why does the OS hang if you put in a blank DVD?)
There is an awful lot of meat in this book. Some topics you'll want to skip, some you'll want to memorize: but it will put you at the front of the pack, because so much of what you learn is vital to being the best IT professional you can be.
Excellent, just excellent.

The knowledge contained in this book is staggering. If you want a complete understanding of any component of Windows there is no better reference. Every Windows programmer should have this book on their bookshelf.

This book is a must have for Windows Vista and MS Server 2008 administrators and support pros. Delving into all aspects of the operating systems with detailed explanations of the workings of both the server and the Vista client. I highly reccomend this book for anyone who wants to truly get to know the two systems.
