Most of the stuff is probably still correct.

18 years is many years. But HP/HPE was not pumping out tons
of new functionality every year in those years.

But all about VSI and the x86-64 port must be missing. And some stuff
about third party products and integration with the rest of the IT world
may be a bit dated.

As an example the referenced section talks about "Microsoft MS-DOS,
Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME variants" and
"Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP".
