This is an excellent resource to have on your desk. The breadth of topics covered is outstanding, and without the clutter of most titles, or duplication of Books Online we are so familiar with. This is superb for troubleshooting those stubborn and confusing problems, but it is also great to just pick a random page and learn something new without wading through an entire chapter.The majority of the content is from Neil himself, but there are several other contributors who add significant value.
