A very special thank-you is due to Addison-Wesley editor Stephane Thomas for her support and enthusiasm. We also thank marketing manager Curt Johnson, production coordinators Marilyn Rash and Patrick Cash-Peterson, and the entire Addison-Wesley production team.

Finally, but certainly not the least, copy editor extraordinaire Joan Flaherty stayed with this project for months and did a superior job on every level.

Other friends at Microsoft who deserve a nod include Doug Miller, Michael Sandoval, Liz Brackett, Teresa Yao, Charles Pritcher, Tracy Edwards Westby, Ryan Calafato, and so many others.
