Query: Author should hide in shame

This has got to be one of the worst technical books I've ever encountered. Full of mistakes, incomplete information, injection of unexplained terms and concepts whilst (badly) explaining one topic...and I've only had the patience to go thru chapter 5. Whole pages are devoted to repeating the exact same thing - copy/paste job from hell.I doubt anybody on the planet would be able to pass the exams using this book. The author, editors, and the technical reviewers (especially the ones at Sun) should be ashamed to have sacrificed perfectly useful blank paper to produce this abomination. I hope the author did a better job writing his Ph.D. thesis than this book.Got this book as a "buy this one, get another cheaper one free" deal. The cheaper, free one Windows 2000 Server Professional Reference by Kiranjit Siyan is 1000x better. Feh.
