3rd paragraph |
The current wording is unclear, and inconsistent with the terminology used within Windows 7.
Replace:
Without password-protected sharing, everyone on your network has access to your Public folder files if you enable network sharing of the Public folder.
With:
Without password-protected sharing, everyone on your network has access to your Public folder files (provided that you have enabled Public folder sharing).
Note from the Author or Editor:
It's not at all clear to me why this reader had trouble with the sentence as it was written, and I can't fathom why he considered it a serious technical mistake! But there's no harm in making the change he asks for (see the Replace and With items above). |

Table 20-2 |
Starter edition has incorrect values for memory limits.
Correct values should be:
2 GB for 32-bit
n/a for 64-bit since there is no 64-bit edition for Starter

[Under Performance, no 64-bit for Starter]

This article also needs to remove the 64-bit support for Starter edition:

Note from the Author or Editor:
In table 20-2, p. 722, change the values for Starter to 2 GB (32-bit) and n/a (64-bit). Please also make the same changes to Table 23-2 on p. 854 of the deluxe edition. |
