Last month, we reviewed our friend Ciprian’s new book by Microsoft Press, Network Your Computers & Devices: Step by Step—and we’ve twisted his arm until he decided to give away 10 free copies for our readers.
First, the book: It’s a great book that covers networking between computers running Windows 7, XP, Vista, Linux, and even Mac OS X. Just as the title suggests, he’s got step-by-step tutorials that explain how to get your network up and running with a minimum of fuss.
Want to see for yourself? You can grab a copy of the free sample chapter if you’d like, or you can look through the chapter outline:

Chapter 2: Setting User Accounts on All Computers
Chapter 3: Setting Up Your Libraries on All Windows 7 Computers
