Step by step, 2009-05-18
Reviewer rating:
I purchased this book due to the fact in the review it stated would assist in studying for the 70-621 Microsoft exam. I found very little info that would help pass that test. Overall, the book should have been called "The Idiots guide to Vista". Good information in the book just not designed for the test.

We all know Vista and the pain it causes. This helped my pain. Good information in a usable format.
Learning about Microsoft Vista, 2008-09-25
Reviewer rating:
I picked this book based on the topics covered in the table of contents, and the book's layout. It was as good as similar books of this type, but seemed to have a better layout. For an XP user much of this book is redundant, since Vista for the most part is not very different from XP.

I would have liked some devoted chapters that only addressed what is different in Vista. This would be a fast track for one that is going from XP to Vista. Then for those that are new to both operating systems, the remaining chapters can cover all the functions that are common to Vista and XP.

The book's style can be a bit obtrusive in that, the topic headings, and procedural step numbering stand out too much, and smothers the content.

Having said that, this book is still a very good choice, and better than the others.

Excellent book. Better than expected. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the Windows VISTA operating system. Very easy to understand.
