Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0596002602, Paperback)

Windows XP is the latest, most reliable, and best-looking version of the world's most widely used operating system, combining the extremely stable engine of Windows 2000 with the far superior compatibility of Windows Me. But one major failing of Windows remains unaddressed in the XP edition: It comes without a single page of printed instructions. In Windows XP Home Edition: The Missing Manual, New York Times technology columnist (and bestselling Missing Manual series creator) David Pogue provides the friendly, authoritative book that should have been in the box. It includes witty, authoritative coverage of every feature, from the new two-column Start menu to setting up a small-office network and sharing an Internet connection among several PCs.
