Windows XP For Dummies by Andy Rathbone

Windows XP is the most powerful of Microsoft's Windows software -- software that's been updated many times since starting to breathe in January 1985.

Someday, sometime, something in Windows XP will eventually leave you scratching your head. No other program brings so many buttons, bars, and babble to the screen.
