Just looking over the list of titles, and from my experience supporting computer users, there is very little in that book that would be of interest to the average user. The average administrator or PC support tech will find it awesomely useful, but they are NOT average users. The average user is an accountant, or mechanic, or hair dresser who wants a tool to do __________. and they don't want to spend any time with the parts of that tool that do not directly relate to their specialty. The average user will always severely under-utilize the capabilities of whatever computer they have. They expect it to "just work". From reading the titles, I would agree with the poster that said that this book as far over the heads of most windows users.
