Get it for the WMI coverage
I read Mr. Martinsson's other book, ActivePerl, and I really enjoy his writing style. I guess some people get it, and some don't. This book is especially strong if you are interested in WMI. While it touches on XML, it may be misleading to put XML first in the title. Nonetheless, it is an excellent treatment of scripting for SQL Server 2000 ...

Good Book
Wanted to learn programming SQL Server 2000 with WMI. I'm a programmer, so the book's approach fits me. WMI text and samples worked for me. I learned WMI. I'm happy.XML is not what I bought it for. I know MSXML, XSLT, XPath, yada yada yada. But I found some stuff I can use with ADO and MSXML. It's a bonus. Another bonus: the code samples are available in Perl. Found them on the CD-ROM next to the VBScript samples. A pleasant surprise because the booktext shows example-code in VBScript.

Save Yer Dough
I thought this book was one of the worst I have ever purchased. There are annoying mistakes in the sample queries, e.g., mispelled field names that will just drive you crazy. I can't speak for the WMI section, I bought this book for the SQL Server 2000 with XML info. I learned more at MSDN.
