This book is not for dummies. There are no funny cartoons, cute sayings, tips on winning minesweeper, or inspirational messages. To paraphrase Joe Friday on Dragnet, “this book is just the facts ma'am”.
The Resource Kit is geared towards system administrators and other IT professionals needing to understand and/or modify the inner workings of Windows 7. It is hard to image a topic that is not covered in this massive 1700 page book.
The book is organized in 32 chapters. If you do not understand the chapter titles, this book is not for you.
