Customer Reviews

Quick reference4
It is a quick reference and explains it simply where I can do it and move on to my work.

The very best place to start5
This book breaks things up into easily digestible tasks. It doesn't waste time with lots of explanation but shows you exactly how to get things done. Another reviewer gave this a low score clearly because he doesn't like Windows Vista, which seems unfair. If you want a good place to get going with Vista this book is well done, easy to understand, and uses lots of graphics to help you find your way.

fore dummies1
Book is for dummies and is of virtually no use to the new "stupid" user unfriendly Vista.
