- Quick, easy explanations help transition from XP to Vista
I admit it, I'm one of the many XP users who didn't jump to Vista when it was first announced. Stories of the interface, problems with printer compatibility, etc. made me not want to even think about changing operating systems. As a longtime PC user, having made the transition from DOS to the first Windows release years ago; I wasn't looking forward to yet another big change in how I do my work.

Reading "The Windows Vista Book" gave me reason to finally make the switch to Vista. The book has 10 short chapters, easy-to-understand explanations of individual features, and a full-color screen shot highlighting the feature on each page.

- Excellent Non-Techi Tech Book!!
This book rocks! If you want a book that can help you get around the complexity of Windows Vista, this is it. The one-page snippets are dead on. Short-explanitory directions with great screen shots too. I feel that if you buy this book to have a relatively easy way to learn the ins and outs of Vista, you won't be dissapointed.
