This superbly written book isn't for system administrators or OS theory geeks; it's for the novice or budding power user who wants to master XP Pro and get down to work. Coauthored by New York Times technology columnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue, this crystal clear, jargon-free book uses wit, technical insight and scrupulous objectivity to demystify Microsoft's newest and most reliable operating system.

In this book, you'll study some of the more advanced applications, protocols, and services included with Windows Server 2003 and learn how to use them to create a network that is both efficient and secure.
