Easy Microsoft Windows Vista - 2008-05-11
Reviewer Rating:
Visual learners take note. Easy Microsoft Windows Vista knows what you like. You want it simple. You want to see big picture and the detail all on one page. You like step-by-step instructions.
It reminds me of a similar book I keep handy for Windows XP (also by Que) -- How to Use Windows XP. It gave me a wonderful overview of the new features in XP. I find myself referring to this book again and again when I need to revisit a seldom used function.
The book is divided into 16 parts or chapters. Browse the topics and bookmark the pages you think you will use most often. It's the perfect companion to a new laptop or desktop with the new Vista operating system.

Easy MicroSoft Windows Vista - 2008-12-06

The book is great and easy to use. They covered the basics of what you need to know on how to operate Vista. The illustrations are a great help in understanding how to preform the task. The book does a great job on explaining how to use a very bad system.

Not enough information for a non-tech woman - 2009-08-05
Reviewer Rating:
I had used Windows XP for several years, liked it and was accustomed to it. Windows Vista has a different toolbar and several different features. The book did not provide me with information I could use to change the toolbar and learn how to use the features in the toolbar that were different from Windows XP. I am not a highly skilled computer person, and I needed more help than the book offered me.
