"This book is one of the few sources to explain ACPI and APM power management of a typical motherboard/laptop from a Windows system level—it describes how Windows uses various ACPI calls to the low level hardware to come up with a power management policy based upon the various conditions affecting the system. It also demystifies the CPU, system and global power states and begins to paint a picture of how all of these things fit together. The next lower level of detail is the ACPI spec, but this is a good 10,000 foot view of how all the pieces are connected to one another. This has been very helpful to me in designing the hardware and defining the BIOS requirements at a systems level (e.g. hardware/software interface) for our embedded mobile platform."

"Building a complete system from scratch with Intel products: Network setup was competed with help from the book and the CD-ROM setup wizard in less than 30 minutes; that's amazing!"
"This is an excellent book both for developing an understanding of the options and the trade-offs and for using as a cheat sheet for quickly putting together a small network."
"It helped me to buy the right router and to set up my two computers—instructions were clear!"

"The book give me practical solutions."
"I am still reading the book but so far I've benefited from the good source code examples. As I read and understand a bit more then maybe some of my following points may not seem as daunting as they are now.
"For my application I would benefit from code to transfer a full "file" of data from an embedded controller to the PC host, also the implementation of USB controller (like my Scanlogic SL811HS/T) to a microcontroller (like my Atmel AT90S8535!) via parallel interface as opposed to I2C.
"I am very glad I bought the book, if I struggle with the parallel interface between usb slave controller to Atmel microcontroller then I'll have to find some one to sell me the Phillips I2C/USB interface chip and stick with the example code.
"Keep up the good work—there is no substitute for clearly written example code like that given in the book. Thanks a lot!"
"This book showed me some real examples of USB developing implementation and introduced me to some good tools for conformance testing, which is very useful to give me real and experimental experience."
"The book has helped me to understand better the nitty gritty of this rapidly evolving standard which has become ubiquitous (found on every standard PC) in the past few years."

"This book has given me good concise information in a readable format."
"This book enabled me to understand the Itanium architecture."
"Similar content as the 4 volume IA-64 books, but in a more readable format. It's good to have more than one explanation of a topic to compare."

"After reading the introduction, I can see that your book is exactly what I needed, and will be extremely helpful for my research. Thanks a lot for helping us get it!"
"I'm in the middle of reading your book and I'm really enjoying it. I don't think I can say that about too many techie books!"
"...SW engineers in Iowa were 'fighting over' the text."
"Great training material."
