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.

Nothing special about this. If your going from XP to Vista only buy this if it is cheap. You will not learn much. Mine came from Smokey Mountain books (150 miles) at a slower than slow time. Stay away from this vendor!

vista operating system
Fairly good book. Covers the obvious but ignores many of problems of Vista. I went to Google, mentioned the problem and found out it was a common problem. Someone had the solution which worked. More emphasis should have been given to the differences between XP and Vista
