A book like this is always a collaboration, even if only one author's name is on the cover. The book in your hands is a huge improvement over the original manuscript, thanks to the efforts of editors Tyler Ortman and Kathleen Mish and copyeditors Eric Newman and LeeAnn Pickrell. Technical editor Michael Kershaw protected me from embarrassing technical errors. And compositor Riley Hoffman made this the attractive book you hold in your hands. Thanks to all of you. Of course, any surviving errors or unclear descriptions are my own responsibility.

Thanks also to Jim Cavin for allowing me to connect his MacBook to my network and Tommy Tse for his assistance in obtaining evaluation software from Microsoft.

And thanks as usual to my agent, Carole McClendon, who started the wheels turning on this project.
