Some books you're not sure if you are going to get the CD that comes with it and this book was delivered as promised with the CD in a timely manner.

Good book for College Course in Operating Systems

Guide to Operating Systems (enhanced edition) by Michael Palmer and Michael Walters, does the job if you need it for a college course. It is becoming a bit dated now that Windows 7 is out. Vista is not covered in great detail. I don't expect to work much with Linux and will probably never see some of the server systems they talk about.. But I still had to remember it long enough to take the tests. Seems to me they want to make a real point how all operating systems, older windows, Linux, and the Mac OX can all be networked together. Wish I could remember half of what is in that book now, less than a year since I used it.

CD Scratched, but it was a used book...

One of the CDs was visibly scratched and would not read. But this was a used book, and for a class, so within expectations. You may want to avoid buying used as an individual if you think you will want the CD...

Not bad!

I only got this book for my OS class. It's academic book after all. It did the job well!
