Beware Non-XP Users! November 20, 2005 9 out of 28 found this review helpful
I would have given this a better rating, as the book seems to be very good. Unfortunately the evaluation version of Project included on the CD will only work with Windows XP (or later) or Windows 2000 SP3 (or later). My little laptop hasn't got what it takes to upgrade my operating system so it wouldn't let me install the software. Pity it doesn't tell you about that here, before you spend money on something. I feel cheated. C'mon Amazon - get your product descriptions right and send me a gift voucher or something as compensation!It tells you this when you get the book and, if you don't break the seal on the CD you can simply return it but, in my case, I work somewhere where it's impractical to return stuff. I managed to get hold of Project 2000 and, with what I already knew about Project, I've found the built-in tutorial to be just dandy!
A good book for both experienced and novice project users August 10, 2005 Mr. M. Randall (Wakefield, UK) 46 out of 46 found this review helpful
This is a well written book that gives a good insight into how to use Microsoft Project 2003. It covers both Microsoft Project 2003 Standard and Microsoft 2003 Enterprise (Server). The writing style is easy to read, not too wordy and there are lots of useful diagrams and screenshots that illustrate the narrative. It comes with a CD that contains useful example project files and an evaluation copy of Project. It also contains an electronic version of the book (very useful if, like me, you have the book at home and want a version at work to refer to) and an electronic version of the Microsoft Computer Dictionary (5th Edition). Overall, good book and I'd recommend it to anyone stuggling to get a grip of Project 2003.
