Summary
Macintosh Windows Integration declares a truce in the OS wars by enabling organizations to effectively integrate both platforms. From using Macs on Windows NT networking, to sharing files and printers, to running Windows on Macs, Macintosh Windows Integration covers every aspect of cross-platform integration used by businesses. John Rizzo's book is filled with practical tips for solving cross-platform problems, as well as how-to information and discussions of the products and utilities that make a Mac-and-PC workflow system a reality. * There has never been as complete a collection of Macintosh-Windows integration solutions anywhere, either in print or on the web. * The book references web pages on the MacWindows.com web site, so that readers can get current updates to information in the book from the Internet. * Based on feedback from the MacWindows.com web site, the book contains practical solutions to the cross-platform problems that most readers need to know about. * The supplemental CD-ROM includes a first-hand look at some of the top utility and networking solutions described throughout the book, as well as electronic software manuals that show what the software on the market can do.
