Oh dear I got it all wrong

I thought this book was going to be full of things Microsoft don't tell you such as hints and tips. But no, its stuff they don't tell you because most of it is insanely obvious. Like minimising and maximising or adding a Printer. Microsoft are probably just saving paper by not printing this sort of stuff. If you're a complete newbie to Windows buy it. If you're looking for stuff they don't tell you, like (well I'm not sure now because I didnt find it here!).
This book will NOT make you and XP expert. At best it might save you from embarrasment.

I've got a few of David Pogue's book's all of then have been good. As a long time windows user (since Win95) I thought I knew everything about windows well I don't!! This book covers XP pro with service pack 1. The book has lots of little things such as shortcuts that I never realised XP had or could do. XP isn't just fancy window dressing after all. All the subjects are covered well with humour scattered here and there. It's not a in-depth book for pros listing every little detail of this and that but after reading it you'll be a power user for sure.
