 Worthless
This book's title is analogous to having scantily clad women on book covers to lure adolescent boys into buying. There is no hacking of Windows. No information that you would not already know if you were an experienced user or can obtain for free using a web search. Do not waste even a penny on this book. It is truly junk.
 A model of clarity - and very useful.
Strikes a perfect balance between explaining too much and explaining too little. An XP manual for Everyman, - and Everywoman. A huge goldmine of technique. Down-to-earth and practical, Sinchak's book gives clear rote instructions for people in a hurry. But context is never ignored, and the author makes you feel safe by providing the pros and cons before you act. The book is designed to be read from beginning to end but also works well if you pick and choose. I formerly thought the O'Reilly books were the model of usability; but now I wish all computer books were like this one. I think it is a treasure.

Excellent
Always wanted to go deep into Windows XP and this book helped me to really do away with alot of frills I didn't need. It also helped me to secure my computer, security is of course #1. I found it to be a really great book, especially if you don't mind going into the registry and changing things which I don't. Great book!
Not worth purchasing; this information is free.
Most - if not all - of the information in this book is available for free online with a quick search.
You don't need no other book for tips
This book is amazing. It gives you advice and tips on how to make your computer "you" friendly. My PC is running faster and smoother. It might be good if the author can make a 2nd ed with updates of software and stuff like that.
