The sample application does not run "out of the box" under Windows 2000. It just hangs during the splash. More importantly, the so called "sample code" available for the book is just a simple VB application and C++ DLL and does not include many of the various useful (and sometimes long) snippets of code from the text. Be prepared for some (re)typing. Makes you wonder why the author constantly brags about his coding solutions for various problems. Cough up all the code!!! It seems like the quality of O'Reilly books has been slipping over the last year or two. Wait for the second edition.
