3rd paragraph |
It says "Sysinternals had two million downloads per day". I think he meant "month". Later in the page it mentions how the community continues to thrive with "three million downloads per month".
Note from the Author or Editor: "per day" should be changed to "per month."

Last sentence of "Mark's Webcasts" |
The last sentence states "... are included on this book's companion media."
But there is no CD (the assumed companion media) provided/bundled with this book ... which begs the question, what other items are missing from the alleged media bundle ?
Note from the Author or Editor: The last sentence of the paragraph should be removed. There is no companion media with the book.

Figure 4-25 |
Figure 4-25 is a duplicate of Figure 4-26 and depicts the "By Folder" tab ... so Fig 4-26 is correct and Fig 4-25 is wrong since it does not depict the "By Path" tab (as the caption and textual context indicate).
Note from the Author or Editor: Figure 4-25 is the wrong image.
