I have to laugh at the irony of this, because as anyone who owns the book
knows, the book itself is rather confusing on this point. In one place it
refers to itself as the third version and in another as the second edition,
and I spent a good five minutes re-reading the material trying to determine
what book I had in my hot little fists. That was quite an experience, one that
again proves that one cannot edit oneself.
Anyone who quickly reads anything Microsoft says about this book is
forgiven -- it is just bad editing.
