Microsoft Windows Vista Step by Step
By A193WHFB4AQ9QA on 2007-02-28
Although initially intimidated about getting started with Vista, my fears eased as I got further and further into this very easy to understand guide. My confidence increased as I worked through the exercises on the CD. Joan Preppernau's style is friendly and approachable. She was always one step ahead of me in anticipation of the questions I had. If you have Vista, this book is a "must have."
Vista Tutoring
By A2N1652TUW59KM on 2007-03-30
This book is a good guide to the Vista operating system for someone with only a smattering of knowledge about the subject. It's clearly written in a rational manner, so I liked it a lot. Expect an occasional exasperating experience when you find the Vista coding has been changed since the book was written. I had to keep reminding myself that the atrocious features of the Vista system are not the fault of the book--it only reports what the system is doing.
Really helpful exercises and as a reference book
By A9W3CRTJGZDNC on 2007-02-27
I found this book to be very helpful. It doesn't just give you the steps to do little tasks like some of the other books I looked at; it explains the features and why you would use them, and shows you how to do things from start to finish. It also has a lot of helpful hints that aren't related to the exercises--last night my husband installed Vista Business Edition and couldn't find a feature he wanted, and I was able to find the solution immediately in this book.
For the computer novice
By A2YFQZ93EI6U9L on 2007-08-05
This book might be well suited to someone who has little or no experience with previous Microsoft OS. For the rest I recommend David Pogue's book if you are not of a mind to search through every Vista book on the market...
Microsoft Windows Vista Step by Step
By A1CI6Z7TO7SGQS on 2007-06-10
This is a very practical book. Sometimes the authors say things like "set up your prefernces" , which to me is not helpful. Since I am new to computer's I don't have any! I wish they would give their preferences. Just tell me what to do! Most of the book is good, because there is a lot of hands-on excercises. The practices help to cement the ideas. One thing about the Vista OS though is you will find a help button in each window you open. This book tells you where thoughs windows are. It's easy to follow. Buy this book! It's worth it. I didn't know there was so many things to learn until I got it.
- Simple Upgrade
By AO31MM850VXBH on 2007-08-06
I am well pleased with Step by Step. Moving from Windows 98 to Vista is a traumatic experience for me, I needed some help and found it.
- Useful book
By A1AH8033GWKBY7 on 2007-11-04
If you are new to Vista this is a must have book. Vista is super user friendly but is different from XP. The auto backup system is totally new and is covered in the book... Even if you are good with XP it is best not try to wing it with Vista.. Too many "gotchas" in Vista....
Book is well written for beginners and experts alike..
- WORTH THE MONEY
By A11CNZ65GBDLDI on 2007-05-07

By A34ALWNQU4CRJW on 2008-04-20
Book had a DVD with it and it didn't work. Returned book and DVD to Amazon for replacement and it still didn't work. Same problem.
