Practical and competent insider knowledge

In the book Microsoft Windows 8 Pro - The manual, topics such as the efficient and safe use of the operating system or the operation of the touch-optimized surface are dealt with. Administration, configuration and security, as well as corporate issues such as the use of group policies, system administration with Windows PowerShell or the new Windows To Go are also of particular interest to the administrator.

Conclusion

For a “manual” the book is a pretty “strong piece”. With over 1000 pages of content, it is definitely not suitable for mobile use. The authors and the publisher will probably have seen this as well and deliver the complete content as an eBook (PDF) for easy use when on the go.
A purchase argument for those who hesitate in view of the justified but quite high purchase price. The book is illustrated throughout so that the factually described instructions can be easily understood.
