WINDOWS® XP PROFESSIONAL helps students build the skills they need
on the job and for MCP Exam 70-270—a core requirement on the MCSA and MCSE

an electronic version of the textbook, and information on how to begin
a career in Information Technology.
An Instructor CD-ROM containing a complete
set of instructor support materials—including lecture outlines, teaching
tips, PowerPoint® slides, a test bank, and detailed lab set-up instructions—is
also available.
