Windows XP Inside Out

Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out is available! Along with coauthors Ed Bott and Craig Stinson, we've written a book that's intended to elevate experienced users of any earlier version of Windows into power users of Microsoft's new operating system for home and business. At nearly 1300 pages, this hefty tome packs lots of tips and inside information for making Windows XP hum. Windows XP is undoubtedly Microsoft's best operating system yet; it's definitely worth a look—and so is the book!

Our Latest Venture

Chris's machine shop hobby is starting to turn into a real business! Who knew there were so many people out there clamoring for parts and accessories for mini lathes and mini mills? Our newest sideline, LittleMachineShop.com, now occupies a large office in our suite--and much of Chris's and Cheryl's time. Check it out!

Windows XP Web Chat

Ed Bott and Carl Siechert, coauthors of Microsoft Windows XP Inside Out, recently hosted a Web chat on TechNet about Windows XP. If you missed it, you can read the transcript, in which you'll discover that Carl didn't really attend either! Fortunately, a telephone conference and instant messaging session set up as contingency plans kept us all communicating, although it was a strange way to conduct a high-tech chat. Ain't technology great?!
