A really big book of nothing,
This review is from: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Unleashed (Paperback)
As a MCT - skip this book, it's got some tid bits, but they are so buried in fluff as to make the whole thing useless for example 3 pages devoted to entering a product key? A total waste of my money and time.

Soup and Potatoes, By Jess Wundring (Juneau, AK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Unleashed (Paperback)
First of all, I'm a skimmer when it comes to technical books, almost never a cover-to-cover reader. I make heavy use of the index and TOC to try to find what I need or am interested in.This book was great when it first came out because the release date beat all the other books to market, significantly. It gave a clear, comprehensive introduction to the aspects of Hyper-V. It is a very good first book for trying to get a handle on Hyper-V before you've ever installed it. Once installed however, donate this book to someone with an interest in, but no access to, the technology. The TOC is good, and the index, too. Just don't be trying to use this book to help figure out what or why something went wrong nor how to fix it. This is not the right resource for that. The book's user level rating says Intermediate-Advanced; it is referring to your level of general IT comfort level, and definitely not your familiarity with Hyper-V technology.

A good start, but more specifics are needed, By Andrew Nicholson "Landrew" (Fredericksburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Unleashed (Paperback)
I agree with the "Soup and Potatoes" review. This book was an early, attractive reference. I'll be looking for a bit more content in an R2 book for my second helping on this topic. I mean, the network coverage was kind of thin, I really need this part to more fleshed out so I don't have to rely on others to help me network the guest OS level stuff. Also, he Linux coverage could have used more details.Better luck next time... |
