So very pleased
ASIN:0471754218 Windows Vista For Dummies
I ordered this book for my 81 year old Dad who had just bought himself his first computer. Since his laptop came with the new vistas program and I still had windowsXP I was unable to help him.He loves the book.Says it is very user friendly and is written in such away that the first time computer user can easily understand. It has helped him alot. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has the Windows Vista program

pointless
I have found this book to be just about useless, and regret spending money for it. I don't think I have found anything helpful about anything I have tried to look up.

Love These Books
I love all the dummies books, and this is no exception. I am the "tech" person where I work, so everyone looks to me for answers. If I can't figure it out, I look to these books.
