    3 of 5 people found the following review helpful: What is what?, May 11, 2004 Reviewer: A readerI am almost finished with this book and cannot tell when I am learning what Mike Meyers thinks is important, and when I am learning something pertinent to the OS exam. Also, the Q&A at the end of each chapter provide no answer keys. I passed the hardware exam and was confident that I would. I already had sufficient hardware experience. I am extremely unsure that this book will prepare me for the OS exam. Definitely not what I expected.
