The MCSE Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 Training Kit is a strange book. Most serious MCSA students will absolutely, no questions asked, need this book to pass the exam… but you wouldn’t want to read it. That being said, the CD-ROM has something that’s key for MCSE and MCSA students–a 120-day trial edition of the ISA software itself. Considering that the ISA software costs $1,500, buying this book to install that software legally and fool around with it at your leisure is a net savings of $1,440.The book itself is a step backwards from Microsoft’s usually excellent beginners’ series, and is neither fish nor fowl–it doesn’t offer the gentle introduction to the basic concepts that most Microsoft training kits do, and yet it contains a howling vacuum when it comes to real-life examples. What’s left is a book that outlines each of ISA’s functions in loving detail, without ever telling you why you would want to use any of them.L (click here for further information)
