Acknowledgments

I'm indebted to many people who helped make this book a reality. Devon Musgrave, Robert Lyon, and the rest of the team at Microsoft Press performed yeoman service in turning a rugged WinWord manuscript into the polished work you're holding in your hands. I know that Ben Ryan, the Acquisitions Editor for this project, logs countless hours and frequent flyer miles searching for great authors and sizzling new books; well, better luck next time. Microsoft's Sandy Spinrad, in just one of his many aspects, ably assisted by locating technical information, hardware for testing, up-to-date releases, and much of the other research material on which I relied. Many members of the Windows 2000 and Windows 98 base teams reviewed this material and deserve personal mention, but they've requested anonymity; they and I know who they are, at least. My seminar students and the online community helped in many large and small ways by asking thought-provoking questions or sharing hard-won insights. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Marty, who's always there when the going gets tough.
